For about the last 6 months I have been using Mobile One (synthetic ) motor oil and synthetic bearing grease on my rifles as a replacement for the more expensive Tetra Products gun oil and grease. I started doing this after reading some posts on this board. In my subjective opinion they seem to work just fine as lubricants. I was wondering thought how Mobile One or other synthetic motor oils hold up as protection against corrosion. Also I read on another forum that there are certain chemicals in motor oil that are not good to come in contact with your skin because they may be cancer causing. I don't know if regular gun oils or cleaners contain these chemicals or not. Does anybody know more about this subject than I do?
