Firearm Lubricant FAQs
What is the best lubricant for firearms?
The best firearm lubricant is one designed specifically for guns.
High-performance
gun oil
reduces friction, resists fouling, and protects metal components from wear
and corrosion far better than general-purpose oils.
Does WD-40 work as gun lube?
No. WD-40 is not designed as a firearm lubricant.
It can evaporate, attract debris, and leave residue that interferes
with reliable firearm operation. Purpose-built gun lubricants are recommended.
What gun lube do Navy SEALs use?
Military and professional users rely on high-performance firearm lubricants
engineered to function under extreme heat, moisture, and operational stress,
not household or improvised oils.
Can you use motor oil as a gun lubricant?
Motor oil is not recommended for firearms.
It is not formulated for carbon fouling, precision tolerances,
or corrosion protection required in firearm systems.
What can I use to lubricate my gun if I don’t have gun oil?
In emergencies, a very light, temporary oil may be used briefly,
but it should be replaced with proper firearm lubricant as soon as possible
for safe and reliable operation.
Can I use olive oil to lube my gun?
No. Olive oil and other food oils can break down, gum up moving parts,
and promote corrosion over time. Firearm-specific lubricants are engineered
for stability, protection, and reliability.
