LIKE2SHOOT Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Going to the gas station instead of the gun store! Kind of funny when you read Mobile 1, but when you think about it.makes all the sence in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCringleberry Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use a combination of FP-10, Frog, and Slide Glide at different areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Brian's Slide-Glide works nicely on recoil springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfchorn Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a case of a synthetic lube called LSA we used overseas (we called it horse ***) Im pretty sure it was made for the MG's but it works great and is cheap Lubricant, Small Arms. It and CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, Preservative) were eventually replaced by Break-Free. I am also a fan of synthetic motor oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic2377 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 +4 on the Mobil 1. As I live where its cold out, or if you want a slightly "runnier" lube, I also mix in 40% ATF. ATF is also very good lube by itself, it has excellent detergent and anti-corrosion properties and makes cleaning a breeze (ie wipe down with paper towel and apply more).

Alaskapopo Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I use 5w30 its what I use in my truck and runs great on guns too. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA338 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Whatabout inhaling the Mobil 1 fumes ? Sure the gun runs well but whatabout the person operating it ? Skin contact might also cause various problems. I do not know what the deal really is but I would not inhale engine oil smoke voluntarely Edited February 15, 2014 by TA338 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebwake Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Fumes cant be any worse than CLP.... And if that's the case, Im sure I have cancer from all the CLP dumped into a HOT m240 or M2 over the years Edited February 14, 2014 by Nebwake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin contact might also cause various problems. I do not what the deal really is but I would not inhale engine oil smoke voluntarely I only used Mobil 1 for a short time before moving to other products. I may move back to a 90% synthetic motor oil/10% synthetic ATF mix. Anyway, I never got the rifle hot enough to smoke the oil. Maybe our match stages are too short for that.

Steve RA Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I really can't believe that inhaling whatever amount of "smoke" from a synthetic motor oil generated by firing a firearm would be any worse than smelling the bacon frying in the kitchen in the morning. Or perhaps, shooting a match at an indoor range. Edited February 14, 2014 by Steve RA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 FP-10 because it smells like cinnamon. Or Slip 2000 because I got a few bottles for free. Seems to work well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agney5 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 FP-10 because it smells like cinnamon. Or Slip 2000 because I got a few bottles for free. Seems to work well also. That's what I think weapon shield smells like. I use slide glide on bcg rails and 50/50 mix synthetic atf and 10w30 on everything else.Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUBL Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This: http://www.prolong.com/eStore/ProductInfo/PSL10010.aspx Mixed with one quart of Mobil one ATF Never dries...seems to be the correct viscosity..super lubricant, everything stays in solution and wipes clean. Granted.....you end up with a half gallon of the stuff and it will last you a life time. We use it on every 22LR bolt assembly that goes out the door. We've also been known to use this stuff mixed with vactra on the ways of our CNC machines as well. The Prolong grease is very good too!
