Helpful hint Mobil 1 synthetic grease as BP lube

I was looking for gun oil and did some research and found that Mobil 1 5W-40 is as good as anything. Specifically they make a blend for V twin high rev engines that is supposed to be great for guns. I haven't tried the grease yet but I've been using regular Mobil 1 5W-40 now for some time on my guns and it seems to be fine. Chris

The Mobile V-Twin oil has higer heat reisitance as it was designed for hot running air cooled engines. It is great on auto slides, barrels and bushings and all moving revolver parts. I find it a toss up on finish's as it provides good long lasting proction but is a bear to wipe down (Rem-Oil is the best of both worlds).

Rem Oil may be great but my objective was to find a cheaper alternative, hence Mobil 1 oils. A quart of Mobil 1 is a lot cheaper than a few ounces of Rem Oil if you compare by quantity. I concur that V-Twin is better than regular Mobil 1 but I still have about three quarters of a quart left, I may never use it up before I kick off. Chris

I have 5 quarts in the garage and due to injuries can't ride.....Bummer, I bought my first H-D in 67 and never looked back. I also have a bunch of non aerosol bottles of a product that was sold on TV way back when called Duralube. It was purchased for two bucks at a yard sale and I got a ton of it. It works extremely well and is in conveniant little bottles.
I did an experiment with it and mied it with Lubriplate 105. A similar combo to what we used to use on gear assemblies at the Truck dealership where I was foreman for engine and gear assembly. It works super and a little goes a long way. Great on 1911 slides and other moving parts, also on base pins and other friction parts on revolvers. Have not tried in sub zero weather yet but it holds up good in high heat.
I'm with ya on the Rem oil, but a salesmen gave me about a hundred of those little packets once at the raange when they first came out and I am still not done with them. I doubt I would pay for them.
