I've been using geissele/alg go juice. It works near identical to slip 2000 ewl except that I've found it to have much more corrosion resistance.
If gun oil worked as good, or better in my automobile then motor oil, and I could get it for free or really cheap then my Toyota would be cruising along with Slip 2000 EWL in the crankcase.I put gun oil in my car. See how dumb that sounds? Gun oil is purpose built for guns. Motor oil is for motors. I don't understand the need to swap the two with one exception. The exception is I need gun lube right now, and the ONLY thing available is motor oil, cooking spray, Vagisil or whatever.
Been trying out Ikea brand oil for wooden cutting boards.
- Cheap, 1L bottle for under $5
- Super slippery, doesn't run off.
- Stays in place.
- Thicker than Slip 2000 EWL.
- Thinner than 10W- 30.
- So far hasn't gummed up in the cold.
- Haven't got the gun hot enough to see how well it handles heat.

Touche. See above edited post.If you haven't really tested it against a hot gun why say you use it? It would seem to me that before proclaiming to the world you're using something designed to condition wood that you've actually proven it can do what you want it to.

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid...unless it's full retard. Like I said I'm trying/testing it out. If it's retarded and no workie I will let you know.The big thing I see wrong with this is that oil for a wooden cutting board has nothing in common with oil for a gun.
In many ways a gun and internal combustion engine have a lot in common... heat, shear forces, corrosion, Carbon etc, this they would be designed to do similar things.
A good motor oil will:
- resist burn off
- resist Carbon build up
- resist corrosion
- resist wear
These are all things that a good gun oil needs to do as well. While I personally don't believe that there is a huge (if any difference) between oils used in certain applications, in other applications they can very immensely. An internal combustion engine and a firearm have similarities, a cutting board and a firearm have absolutely none. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and hammers.

Wasn't fireclean proven to be chemically identical to crisco vegetable oil?

Fireclean gets very gummy after a few months of storage. Back to Slip ewl for me.
