Mobile 1 baby.
LSA was the end all back when I was in! Now they found a cheaper product, Breakfree CLP! And in a few yrs. they'll find another new product. No big! I will go with no one product can Clean, Lube, and Preserve as well as 3 specific products.
Lets face it. For your average trip to the range you could use corn oil with no issues.
Please share your data on why not to use STP oil additives. Tangible data is important.
Hey look the quarterly best lube for a gun argument.
If one looks up the MSDS for majority of gun lubes that are not organic, you will see they are derivatives of synthetic motor oil. Some will add this or subtract that but really they are high priced synthetic motor oil base. Though some are dressed up mineral oil which sucks.
Time for a good ol' .45 vs 9mm vs .40 thread!
Motor oil is designed to be hygroscopic, basically additives allow it to trap moisture and suspend it. Not a big deal if it is in an engine that will be heated past water's boiling point frequently, and long enough to release the moisture in the form of vapor. It's a bad property as it saturates to form an emulsion, then forms free moisture under the oil film along with acidification and corrosion. Most contain toxic benzene additive compounds and the additive package usually has little resistance to oxidation in the open. Might be an OK lubricant, definitely cheap, but it does have a serious drawback that other types of hydrophobic oils don't. Most gun oils and mil-spec CLP have a lot in common with food-grade light machine oil, high barrier lubrication, high corrosion protection, low volatility, stable across a broad temperature range, goodoxidation protection, and non-toxic.
This is kinda like how to start a flame war on car forums. All someone has to do is ask for the best tires, motor oil, oil filter and wax and the arguments start. Flame on!
Yeah I can't stand that.
PS-did I mention that Colt AR's are the best, pit bulls are awesome, and historic tags should be scaled up to 30 years?
I love motor oil threads. Particularly on gun forums.
I guess its better than gun threads on dildo forums....
That’s for pornhub
Maybe I should start using CLP in the pick-em-up truck. How many 4 oz bottles equals 5 quarts?
I'll set the change reminder for 1000 rounds or 3000 miles.
