Harley oil...
Sounds eerily similar to "Honda Genuine Oil" that I mysteriously feel compelled to use in my Honda mowers and generators. On the flip side, I've been using Wilson Combat lubricants for the longest time yet never purchased a WC firearm.
Somewhere in the above there's just got to be a hidden answer to the meaning of life...
I was trying to be sarcastic by extending the money saving thing into the realm of ridiculousness.
Although IMO, if you are going to use a synthetic motor oil for a weapon lube it would make sense to me to use an oil that was designed to work with a splash lube system rather than a pressure lube system.

That's because I quoted this section
Even so, the important part to me is in bold belowNFPA Hazard ID: Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0
HMIS Hazard ID: Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0
because exposure causes irritation to my eyes, skin and respiration.HEALTH HAZARDS
High-pressure injection under skin may cause serious damage. [b]Excessive exposure may result in eye, skin,
or respiratory irritation[b/]
I included the link so people can read the SDS and decide for themselves if Mobil 1 poses any threats to their health or comfort they should be concerned with. My choice is to avoid using motor oil and/or ATF on my firearms because they cause me irritation.

I tried out synthetic motor oil for a short while. It did Ok as a lube. I think it stinks though. IMO there are better and worse options out there. I tried Frog Lube for a while and it worked fine for me. Lately I've been using Fire Clean and it works fine also. When I run out of that I may try Lucas Oil, or maybe Slip2000, or whatever else is on sale that day.

I use Mobile 1. It works for me and it smells quite a bit. When I finish off this bottle, I will move to something else.

Maybe I should have mentioned I am only considering Mobil One for the rails. I have Machine Gunner's Lube for the bolt, CLP for tiny little parts and have been using Breakfree LP or grease for the rails. I am running out of Breakfree LP, hence the need for a possible replacement.
