Hi All I made a homemade gun oil with Motul 300V racing motor oil ( think it’s a group V oil ) and nano prime engine treatment with MoS2 and Ws2 seems to work fairly well in Glocks and a AR would there be any downsides in long term use? I know there are people on this forum with a loads of knowledge please give me some input. Thank you in advance
Thoughts on this recipe for gun oil

Works with Glocks but not Sigs.
Been using it for about 4 months seems to stay in place quite well and doesnt burn off or dry up easy so far.Just screwing with you. I am sure it works well.
I thought the original thread title was for a FUN OIL
Fun oil. Gun oil. Aren’t they synonymous? Personally, though I shoot a lot, a 4oz bottle of gun oil lasts a long time, and the oil expense is microscopic compared with the ammo expense.
So, I don’t bother with my own mix, I just use off the shelf, commercially available oil (and yeah, I’ve got AMSOIL, G96, and HPL on the shelf).
I don’t see any downside to using your mix. Guns aren’t picky, though, so, maybe just the Motul itself next time?
This is a great question for @High Performance Lubricants - what makes a good gun oil? How does this mix look to you?

Dont
Thank you for the reply i will ask @High Performance Lubricants
Lol would have been fun to use Amsoil products as the base unfortunately not sold where i am

I've been using the same 4oz bottle of Army CLP (Radcolube? There are no words left on the bottle) and 8oz tub of TW25B since 2010.
I'm sure a homebrew works.

If you're looking for rust prevention during storage some motor oils emulsify and may not be durable in high humidity.
I would just use a gun oil marked "CLP", Mil-PRF-63460F and NSN 9159-01-053-6688. Qualified products are heavily tested and perform well.

Ive never really liked the idea of CLP i dont think they are good in any one area. I clean with a cleaner and wanted a lubricant ( or LP ) just on its own. Didnt know that synthetic oil would not be durable in high humidity as it gets very hot and humid here where i live.
Learn some thing new everyday
It's not really the base fuids, synthetic or mineral, that are effected by moisture although esters can be effected. It's usually the sulfonate detergents. Sodium sulfonate is an emulsifier. Lower molecular weight calcium sulofonates are also emulsifiers.
Thank you for the info always good to learn from people in the know
A few drops of Singer sewing machine oil I stole from my wife seems to work fine for just about everything that goes bang. If a pistol won't function reliably without being lubed with unicorn tears, IMHO, it's broken.
lol valid point
