RemOil. I use it for pretty much everything.

[C. Latch]

I rub lithi-bee on my press ram when it gets dry. Maybe every 1000 strokes. I also use it to lube cases, bullets, slide rails on pistols, and squeaky door hinge.

Breakfree for critical areas, 30W on non-critical areas, and Lubriplate on areas that never see the light-of-day.

I use Machine Gunner's Lube on all the moving parts of all my presses. The stuff lasts forever!

I use Marvel Mystery Oil. It's a good lubricant but is also extremely high detergent. It keeps the ram and all joints/pivots lured and clean!

[Safeshot]

Mobile 1 or other name brand 5W30 Synthetic Motor Oil for "Oiling". Moly Disulfide Grease or "disk brake wheel bearing grease", in a cartridge grease gun, for "Greasing". "Lee Liquid Alox" for "long term storage". (A little goes a long way.)

Whatever oil or grease you use: Stay away from any CLP type product. These will penetrate to greased areas and break down the grease.

Interesting. I haven't set up my LnL AP yet. Big red says I have to do an initial clean and lube with Hornady One-Shot Dry Lube. I've been planning to be a good boy, and pick some up. Problem is, I always PLAN to be a good boy...

After reading this stuff, I'm wondering about just dunking it in my waste oil. Too much?

[gwpercle]

What ever lube is handy at the time. Spray gun lube, motor oil, gov't surplus CLP , Castrol Motorcycle Fork Oil, the last time I had put Marvel Mystery Oil in a spray bottle and lubed both presses and my Lyman 450 lube/sizer. That stuff works well. Have no idea what it's supposed to be used for but it does presses OK.

Marvel Mystery Oil is a "marvelous" product. I've bee using it for 40 years. It is extremely high detergent. For oil changes, I substitute one quart of oil with one quart of MMO. I also add it to the gas - 1/2 ounce per gallon of fuel. Keeps injectors clean & open.

In the oil, it is such a high detergent that my oldest Honda has 135,000 miles on it. Remove the oil cap and shine a light, and there's not so much as even a film on the metal surfaces - looks brand new in there.

Someone older than me once told me that with regular use of MMO, the body of the car would rust away before the engine quit. I also use MMO in the lawn mower.

During WW II, MMO was used in war plane and war ship engines......

I quit buying fancy snake oils and gimmicks a few years ago.
Mobile 1 synthetic and/or Lucas Red and Tacky can be found on everything I own with exception to my molds. I got a few bottle of Bullplate a while back and it'll last me the rest of my life.

[knobster]

CLP break free.

Stuff is nothing short of a miracle.
