What is the slickest oil, synthetic lube there is. I need to change up. And does anyone use G-96 ? What do you consider is the best.
Kenny- I really thought aIf the smell doesn't bother you, Mobil 1 motor oil is one of the best and cheapest options

Motor oil. Not only has it been thoroughly researched for high temp use, there are a variety of weights so you can pick exactly what you need.What is the slickest oil, synthetic lube there is. I need to change up. And does anyone use G-96 ? What do you consider is the best.

I usually clean my guns with Ballistal if I haven't shot them very much. Everyone here has given me some great information. I just need a good lube to run in my AR 's.I started using ballistal to see if I like it but hopps #9 is my usual go to.
Thanks Frank. Several members said that they use Mobile One. Matter of fact I use it in all my cars and in my truck. I'm going to give it a shot.I also use a synthetic Motor oil on any firearm I own. I usually buy a
quart of “0-20” weight and it’s thin, slippery and a quart is usually $5,
I look for the CloseOut shelf......if a $250,000 Race car engine uses Synthetic Oil for protection
A $1,000 gun ........,is not going to BE hurt.
Thanks CBG.Pro-Shot All Weather Oil
It has a needle dispenser and is a small bottle - it will last forever.
I tried to read all I could on lubricants and the consensus (even in Kimber instructions) was that it takes just a few drops in critical spots on a 1911 as indicated here http://www.bullseyepistol.com/oiling.htm
The other big opinion is that you can't over oil a 1911. I'm sure this opinion also goes for other pistols.
I prefer to have a little oil in the right places so as not to have a dirt and grit magnet.
There are many folks on other forums that absolutely swear by Mobile 1. And when you read the comments in this post, it makes a lot of sense.
If you are looking for a quality lube, consider the Tetra products. I have some of their synthetic white grease in a small squirt tube that is very good. But I still believe that the old Pro-Shot does just as well.
I am firm believer in the G96. I always put some on a soft cotton t-shirt rag and wipe the pistol down before putting it back in the gun safe.
