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.

If the smell doesn't bother you, Mobil 1 motor oil is one of the best and cheapest options

Lucas makes a great gun oil, its synthetic and comes with a needle tip on the bottle so you can get it exactly where you want it. They also make a good cleaner too.

 

[kenny1773]

buy an oil bottle and fill it

Amazon.com

I can't argue with lots of other good gun oil products out there
Lucas is good
Hoppes is good
Frog Lube is good

If you are sticking to a reputable name, none of it is bad.

I have used mobil oil in my cars since 1989, and while that product has gone through many changes in base oils and additives over the years, I have taken several cars to 200k plus miles that never burned a drop of oil

I have used it on ARs for at least a decade, never had any issues. I am not a combat fighter, so YMMV, but I can shoot a few hundred rounds in an outing and not stop to lube or even think about it or worry about it. Clean and lube when I get home

Do you want to pay $14 for 4 oz?

I always have a half quart of mobil sitting around, I even put that stuff in my lawn mower. Buy with rebate you can get 5 quarts for $12 (rebate is going on now)

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.

I started using ballistal to see if I like it but hopps #9 is my usual go to.

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.

M-pro7 LPX is my go to

 

[Bamarider]

Frog lube is good! But I use eezox that turns to dry lube it works wonders

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 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.

There are several synthetic motor oil brands that are good. I started with Mobil 1
Just be sure you don’t buy a “synthetic Blend” it is cheaper - not worth it, in long run !

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.

used Mobil1 for years 0w-20

Ballistol! Multi-purpose and had positive results. Even use it as a great leather oil. CLP is also in my rotation.

I've been using 811 oil for around 25 years.
It treated me well in speed pistol competitions for many of those.

8 Parts Dexron ATF. Terrific lubricant. I'd use the III today. Was only one last time I mixed.
1 Part Marvel Mystery Oil. Contains cleaners that seem to. Run patches till clean and one with 811 on it and you'll see what I mean.
1 Part STP. Makes it hang in there a little better.
