Hello, I know this subject has already been talked about but what is a really good synthetic gun oil for a AR15 that keeps your weapon lubricated for long storage.

Mobil 1.
I'm still currently using Slip2000 EWL, but I have used Mobil 1 on dry firearms in the past and it works great. And the price can't be beat.

Does Mobil 1 have different viscosities?

I'm sure you're exhausted from your lengthy reply.
Would you care to elaborate, Sir?
But don't exert yourself.

There have been a few comparisons done where metal plates were treated and left in the weather... for long term I think one of the best was Breakfree Collector (formulated for longer term storage than the usual Breakfree CLP). I _think_ slip2000 was one of the other longest lasting treatments, but I'm not sure.

Long term storage, not lubricant, I found great success using eezox.

I think it's been said that synthetic motor oil is great as a lube but not as a long term storage.
Here are part of the results of the test I was trying to remember. This photo was taken after 10 days left out in the weather. There are more photos, but after 14 days or so they all look pretty rough.
The three sections that are most rust free left-to-right are Breakfree collector, Eezox, and Slip2000 EWL. The one on the far right is Mobil 1 5w30.

LOL, Yes they have more than one viscosity. I'm not sure about all of them nor am I sure which one would work for you. Your question was a short one so I gave a quick reply. You can always consult with Google too.

Another test. http://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/corrosion-protection-products/
Eezox is a consistant winner. Do any LGS stock it? I don't think I've ever seen it except online.

I think your reply was completely appropriate. Mobile 1 comes in all the viscosities one would expect in a motor oil. I don't know if the answer was expected to be an exhaustive list, or what. Google can provide that.

I love Eezox as a storage/rust preventative. I like it as a lubricant.
Pretty stuff to beat synthetic motor oil for a lube.

Thank you all for your input and I will try Eezox. Has anyone tried Detroit Gun Lube

Did I hear somewhere not to use moly grease with aluminum parts? Or am I confusing it with graphite lube (which I _know_ is bad for aluminum)...
