Synthetic motor oils are subjected to extreme conditions present inside operating
internal combustion engines. These include, but are not limited to:
-Thermal Stresses
-Extreme Pressure and Wear
-Oxidation
-Combustion Products Contamination
Since firearms operate strictly within the boundary lubrication regime and not the
hydrodynamic lubrication regime, it appears that synthetic motor oils should
possess the necessary attributes (including detergency, rust and corrosion inhibition
and adequate film and barrier strengths) to serve successfully as alternative small
arms lubricants.
While not all of the 28 synthetic motor oils and compounds listed below rise to meet
all of the following evaluative performance criteria, they are for the most part,
adequate for the application since the internal operating environment of firearms is
generally far less severe than that of internal combustion engines.
Evaluative Criteria:
5. Thermal Service Range (TSR): The sum of the absolute values of the Pour
Point (PP) and the Flash Point (FP).
