[QUOTE="Radman, post: 2766485, member: 112033"] I know that we have beaten this horse to death but...... After many, MANY years of buying "gun oil" speifically for guns a frugal friend of mine got me started using synthetic motor oil. After considering everything I thought: 1) 5w30 (or thinner) means thin in cold temps but great protection when hot as well. 2) High detergent to keep things clean. 3) Rust inhibitors, self explanatory. 4) Probably much cheaper bought by the quart instead of my 2 - 4 ounce bottles. And 5) Good film strength to protect exterior surfaces as well as internal. Just my thinking. I've experimented on my own rifles and shotguns this past winter and so far I have found no negatives whatsoever. I know many on here already use motor oil. Thoughts? Any reasons not to switch? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
