How to Make Your Own Super Lubricant!
First, it’s not that kind of lubricant. It’s the kind you use on things like squeaky hinges, drill bits and fire arms. This recipe comes from my friend Don, who has christened it as ‘the best [oil] you will ever use’, and if Don says it’s so, it’s so. Believe me. What makes it special is that unlike most lubricants it isn’t too thick or too thin. Simply put, it works and it lasts. The recipe is an adaptation of the Marine Corps Armorers’; it makes 3 quarts, which, if it seems like a lot, you can always share! (With the exception of Shooter’s Choice, you should be able to find all the ingredients at a good automotive store.)
Super Lubricant
One quart Dextron III Transmission Fluid
One quart 5W30W Mobile 1 Full Synthetic Motor Oil
One 16 oz can Marvel Mystery Oil
One 4 oz bottle Shooter’s Choice FP 10 Gun Oil
One 15 oz can STP (Blue Bottle)
After you mix these together, Don says to pour your new Super Lubricant back into the bottles you just emptied. Thanks, Don!
You guys trying to put me out of business. 35 years of formulation chemistry down the drain. Lets see. You have the solvent for penetration, polymers for adhesion to the metal, EP for heavily loaded parts, anti-wear and sliding lubricity, anti-corrosion, anti-rust, pur point depressants for cold weather, high temp polymers, and etc………..
Shelf life is ~ 6 months then the ratios will begin to change. You got all the bases covered.
We don’t want to put anyone out of business! My friend Don isn’t a chemist, but he is smart, and he loves to share the knowledge. I’m just helping him pass it on.
