Timestamps on a decade old video is nice asf lol

Glad you did this video. People ask me constantly, "what should I use in my AR?" I tell them motor oil and I use it all of the time. The response is usually, " I'm not using that in my $2K rifle." My response, " yet you use it in a $20K machine."

I use shell oil, gives +5 horsepower tacticool points.

I’ve used motor oil since 1968 when my armorer turned me onto it. He said think about it kid, companies spend millions on this shit, it works. A quart will last me two years. I’m 72 now and I’m still running motor oil. And all my guns run perfect

Lube is lube. On the ak I usually go with KY "yours and mine."

Well there young fella. As an ex mechanic I'm familliar with all these lubes plus some other less common ones. I'm not here to offer my opinion or be judgemental. What I want to say to you is that you have done your homework,you speak with experience and you have ann your shit together and your ducks in a row. As for the quality of your presentation,I would say that you've done a better and more thorough job than most I have seen on here. I would go as far as to say if you ever consider another career,become an educator. Thanks for a great job. Kudos.

Bacon grease is good, but you get hungry after about 50 rounds from the aroma of bacon.

I use Marvel air tool oil, it's what I had at the time and just never stopped. It lubricates, removes deposits and prevents rust all in one bottle.

The points made in this video are well founded

I have been operating the M16 weapons platform for over 35 years " 22 yr's USMC "  I use 2 stroke oil , usually synthetic it works in dessert and cold areas. It protects the operating system from over wear and overheat. Simple !

Astroglide...works in all temps and cleans with water! It's mandatory for running your bolt into the rear chamber.

As an old guy from way back, I sure was waiting along time for someone to get a clue and rediscover, really, common sense lubing of weapons.  Been using HD motor oil and synthetic Hi-Temp bearing grease in all my guns for awhile-and generally just because I had the stuff on hand for my Jeep ZJ and other vehicles AND IT WORKS.  Thanks for a well done vid.  You present well.  Good job.

Its funny, I started off with motor oil on my guns until my cousin told me I was a dumbass for doing It. Actually, I was a dumbass for believing him, now Im gunna go back to using motor oil lol.

Transmission fluid is all I use. I particularly like the stuff with wear resistance.

Ever since frog-lube froze in my bolt in my AR I stopped using it.

Ahh yes I'm a AK guy new to the AR platform. Bearing grease in the AK, motor oil in the AR, got it. Thanks brother!

dudes, mix 4 parts Mobil 1 synthic with 1 part Mobil 1 synthic transmission fluid.  i have been keeping my bolt wet with this recipe for the last 8 years. Carbon just wipes off. Lube the upper reciever with Hi Temp High Pressure grease. Its 3.99 for a tub at walmart. I also use the grease (red color) on wear points on my glocks as well.

fuck all the "gun oil" that is gun oil. The synthic oil stays fluid at -20. far cheaper and far better.

If it’s slides use grease. If it turns use oil.

For many years, I kept thinking "gun oil" is over price. It has to be another alternative that work and cheap. Now I found it, thanks for open my eyes.

I will add here, last weekend I saw many guys pulling BCGs out and CLP'ing and cleaning a few times throughout the weekend. I don't know the exact number of rounds I shot but I'm guessing approximately 1,100. I cleaned with #9 and lubed appropriately with synthetic 10W-30 before the weekend, and I did not touch my AR even once for cleaning after that and it ran just fine and dandy. I guess I'm convinced from here on out.
