Ok, let me state first that I have no experience using motor oil for lube. I do know a lot about motor oil though, and from what I know this TM is a bit off, what do you all make of it?

I think I'll stick to mobile 1
Moble 1 Good
Thanks, Pete
Anyone tried Quaker State Q (Full Synthetic)?

Thats an interesting point! I've been wanting to try out diesel oil for that reason. I have found that mobil 1 works better then CLP but to be honest I've never tried diesel oil. Ill try it out at the machine gun shoot in a few weeks at the impact zone here in houston.
All I know is that running Shell Rotella T in my old LT1 Trans Am sure cleaned it out! The guy had run GTX before and the Rotella had to be changed every could hundred miles for the first 1500 or so miles. Each time the filter was full of pudding consistancy sludge. It's a wonder I didn't stop up the oil pickup tube screen.
Works good for me.
I'm about 1/2 way through a quart bottle purchased in the late 1990s.
Apart from that, I will use TW25B or other lightweight grease when grease is needed.
I know "why" questions make people defensive and all, but why do we need detergent oil in a rifle?
When life gives you lemons, insert copper and zinc wires in them and repeatedly shock your tongue.
Same reason it's in there for the engine, to help with deposits. Consider it to be the same as the "c" in CLP.
GET IN YOUR BUBBLE!
