Militec-1 oil and grease. Best stuff I've found.

Breakfree CLP. It actually seems to do all three jobs well. I'm down to Hoppes #9 for leaded barrel cleaning & CLP for everything else. Two chemicals, both easily found, all the bases covered.

I always liked FP-10. When I worked in the firearms industry it was popular with BP shooters because they could do more shots between cleanings if they used it. It's petroleum based but they do something to it where you can wipe it almost dry and it still lubricates/protects. You also only need to use small drops, a bottle of that stuff lasts for ages.

The guy that brought you FP-10, is now the guy that brings you Steel Shield (Weapons Shield).

RE Mobil 1, I love the stuff in my car, can I just use it or should it be blended with grease or ATF?

I recently started using Ballistol and it seems to be doing a great job. I've had good luck with Rem Oil and CLP (both the lube and the cleaner/lube). I also use a bit of moly spray in the barrels (moly is what many reloaders lube their bullets with), it's a dry lube - a bit like graphite, but a better lubricant - and so doesn't attract dirt.

Pistols: Militek for the barrel & bushing, Mobil1 for everything else. Somtimes a little CLP in the action.

I've used Breakfree for over 20 years. The only thing I grease is M1s and similar actions (M1A, Mini 14) and use Mobil One red grease (a tube costs about $8 and will last you a long time)

Should work fine. But may run a little and evap just a little.

-ATF will add cleaning properties keeping carbon from sticking, but will thin it out too much.
-STP will thicken it back up. STP also leaves a slick layer behind when the oil is wiped off.
-Grease mixed in will make it last longer, stay in place. But grease all by itself holds dirt in place too much. My ketchup mix lets dirt flow away.

CLP's have made a lot of headway in recent years. Check out this previous discussion:

I've had excellent results with both Eezox and Breakfree.
