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've tried synthetic oil and it works, the problem is if running them long and hard it can run dry, mix with a little synthetic grease seems to keep it in place.

I like Frog Lube for staying all day and keeping carbon build up down but I worry that it doesn't have anti wear properties as oils and greases.

When I buy Lucas, I get it in Costco size for the same price as what the gun shops sell it for.

The main purpose of any lubrication is to reduce friction which results in less ware and less heat. Synthetic lubricants have proved to be very good at that. Without synthetic lubricants jet engines would not last very long. Synthetic lubricants were the break through in jet engine development.

I hate myself. That is the only reason for reading this thread. Now I hate myself more for replying.

Just use vagisil. “Drops mic and storms off. “

Is fireclean really only vegetable oil?

Y’all take this way too serious. Car oil is designed for closed systems with pumps. Last time I checked, ARs don’t have oil pumps.

Car oils also draw in moisture. They are hydroscopic. Pretty sure I don’t want that in my gun. Gun oils are gun oils for a reason.

Flash, your pistons, rings and cylinders are not lubricated under pressure. They are splash lubricated. The movement of the crank, rods, pistons dipping in the sump oil causes it to form a spray or even fog which gets on these parts and lubes them

Seems to be nontoxic.
