CLP is what I use now, but i'm going to give 0-40 mobile 1 a couple of tests in my AR. I've been thinking about that also. What vehicle are you using it in?

Thanks for all of the great advice guys, I am going to buy some CLP and give that a go.
I replaced the spring in the stock last summer, so that shouldnt be it. the whole gun is due for a good cleaning though, so that is step 1.
By the way, the airtemp here is about 0 (not that cold) on its way to -20 tonight. However, with 25-40 mph winds and gusts to 56, it sucks out right now. That wind is something else!
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I was talking to my super farmer buddy the other day and he said they put 0-40w in a loader tractor. Kind of a test I guess, they'd never used it before.

Rem oil is so thin it's good for cold. Wipe away all the excess and all that's left is a very thin film of teflon. I've not found anything better for cold.

I recently found this stuff that's made for Harmon by Slip2000. Looks to be good to temps way lower or higher than any of us could hunt in.
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Holy crap! Some of you guys' winter temps is unreal. If it gets down to +20 around here people start dying. Not necessarily a bad thing sometimes...

As a kid in the UP, my family used Dri-Slide. Several of them shot Rem742's and I do not recall any jamming issues. Their technical data sheets claim effectiveness to -20 F. It is my favorite lube in AR type weapons.

This is just pure supposition, but follow me:
1) Ed's Red starts with Kerosene and ATF. Those two components make a pretty handy gun oil mixed 50/50 2) Does ATF ever freeze? If so, are there Automatic Transmission Fluids that don't?
I would think that 50/50 Kerosene and ATF would make a good gun oil for any temperature, low or high.
Just wondering. By the time hit hits 15F, my freezer is full of venison, and I don't come out until Spring Gobbler Season.

Haven't used it, but I'd expect a low-viscosity synthetic motor oil to not freeze.
I have a small bottle of royal Purple syn oil that I use.

Everyone is always talking about Dexron II and III ATF. Has anyone ever tried synthetic ATF? Synthetic is always suposed to be slipreyer, and synthetic more temp resistant.
I'll send $5.00 to anyone who lives in an icebox to put towards some to test.

back in the early 90s, I tried a light coat of Mobil One 5w30 ona bolt action Browning and Rem 700.. even around zero it was pretty darn gummy....
normal gun oil I learned later is a lighter viscosity...
I have some left around here that I got back in Minnesota, Castrol Synthetic Gun oil...that worked fairly well, I tried it after I had tried the Mobil One..
I did basic training in the winter in Oklahoma, and I remember they brought out some different gun oil for us to use on the M16s on the firing line...

EEzoz is rated to -95F CLP to -65F If you are having a problem in cold weather it isn't the fault of the above products. Maybe a good cleaning with a solvent to strip the old lubricate that had the above on layered top of it. I use CLP in my Beretta Auto 12 ga. down to -10 and in my bolt rifles to -20. Never a problem. I would NOT recommend using a motor oil or WD40 in an auto shotgun or anything else. They are dirt magnets.
