How much synthetic oil does one have to use on a gun to make it thicken up in cold weather? In my experience a couple drops (literally 2 or 3 drops) of oil on a rag is more than adequate to protect and lubricate an entire gun
ANY synthetic motor oil will work on a gun.
The W in 5w-30 or 0W-20 stands for WINTER.
