Re: 5w20 synthetic motor oil
I wouldn't be surprised if some of these WonderLubes were just repackaged 55 gallon drums of Mobil 1 marked up at 50x the price...nice margin there...

Re: 5w20 synthetic motor oil
This thread just reminded me...my dad has an OLD can of oil, probably from WWII era, that says "Lubricant for use in aircraft engines and machine guns."

That's weird, I always thought the ATF was the worst thing to happen to guns.

Re: 5w20 synthetic motor oil
I think i am still using mil clp from the 80s. Is that a bad thing? I havent had any problems.
on the other hand the old man was talking about oil they would run through the locamotives that was amazing stuff. Some guys used it for alot of things with good results. He said it was called HT 10. Cant really find any info on it.Last edited by jmiro; May 30th, 2012 at 05:23 PM.

Re: 5w20 synthetic motor oil
Dollars to donuts it's either Castor oil, or whale oil. I know whale oil was what was originally specified for use on the M1911. And IIRC Castor oil was used in aircraft engines, but I'm not as certain about that. Originally Posted by bac0nfat

Re: 5w20 synthetic motor oil
Not sure, I'll have to see if I can get a picture of it and post it. Although knowing how old military stuff is labeled it might not say. You know how it is... Originally Posted by Greywolf
