But going to start using Mobil 1 on things, too.. Originally Posted by captain seafire I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Excellent rust protection and seemed not to throw the first shot off as much when a very light coat was run through the bore followed by a dry patch. For lube BreakFree except on lugs and camming surface where I use a grease, usually Rig. Always liked the smell of Rem oil though, reminds me of my first 22.

Those Benelli's sure are nice rigs.. Tri flow goes on the bolts of all my B/A rifles.. No hiccups yet when it gets cold. For the record - High pressure assembly lube goes on my auto pistols, and the CLP goes in my RRA LAR-15 Coyote Rifle, but that will get changed to Mobil 1 in the future.

It does have a strong pleasant odor, but it mostly goes away after it's wiped dry. Not really noticeable on the 2nd day. As a side note, BSA is right, it works great on squeaky hinges too!
