During the 1939-1940 Russo Finnish War, the Russians had major problems with machine guns and automatic weapons freezing up in the Finnish Winter.
The Finns didn't have that problem at all...
They used a mixture of 25% 10 wt motor oil and 75% gasoline to dilute it.
Their machine guns functioned just fine in the winter cold....
For a lot of my lube needs, I just use Amzoil's version of WD 40 on a patch to wipe things down with...
Light synthetic motor oil also works real well... and even can be diluted more with gasoline or diesel...
at the local autoparts store, you can even get 0w10 synthetic motor oil put out by Royal Purple..
according to racing stuff my son is always into... many formula one cars run a racing 0W10 oil that Mobil makes. that is synthetic...
I don't have gumming up problems in cold weather even since I moved to Oregon, as I did when I use to hunt northern MN about 50 to 60 miles south of International Falls...

No offense, but IMHO, Rem Oil has always been junk.
I prefer CorrosionX or Ezzox for rust prevention. I wouldn't use Rem Oil if it was free.
