Engine oil on your guns?

[Gunner]

Anyone here use engine oil to lube your guns? I stumbled across it online and it seems like a decent idea with the only draw back being it will be more likely to attract dirt and debris.

It's what probably 50-60% of lubes are made with. It's been discussed here before, I use syn- 30W.

My guns are organic so non gmo fair trade coconut oil. Leaves a nice smell when firing

I will probably use 5w-30 Supertech synthetic or 0w-40 M1 leftover oil near future. Unless there is a petro engineers who will tell me that some of oil additive/blend can harm the gun finish.
My lawnmower had an oil change w/ 5w-30 supertech (walmart brand) synthetic. It was leftover oil, and it runs smoother than straight 30weight motor oil for lawnmower. (Yes, checked manual).

It's all I use to lube my guns. I just picked up a quart of cheap synthetic at the auto parts store and expect to use it for the next 10 years or so, at least.

I've been using leftover gear oil 80w

I use Mobil 1, in one of those little squeeze bottles that the e-cig/vape juice comes in.

I have been using 0-30 synthetic with BG moa additive for the last 5 years and it works well for me.

I use 5-20 Royal Purpul. Works great!

I used 30 wt synthetic motor oil mixed 50/50 with synthetic ATF for years. I use the Lucas products now and I prefer them, but the 50/50 blend is cheap and works better than most gun lubes.
