It's not that big of a consideration IMO.
Any oil will do for general use. It is all designed for high temp moving parts. I have lately been using axle type grease on firearms. It's designed for high temp moving parts and will not flow or evaporate. Your firearm is a machine, don't over think it. |

I've been using Mobil-1 15w-50 for the last 3 yrs or so. It's original purpose was hydraulic fluid for my zero turn mower.
Works really well. It has great longevity through high round counts. |

I use Mobil 1 0w-40 "European Formula", it's a true synthetic and not a blend.

I like CLPs designed for guns. I use Fireclean with great results.

Gun oil for guns, motor oil for cars. but to answer you question, Mobil one seems to be prevalent around here. I would use 5-20.
I tried some synthetic motor oils and just didn't like the feel the oil had after sitting on the gun in the safe for extended periods. |

Whatever oil you got, a piston in a car engine can cycle up and down anywhere from 1000 to 7000 times in a minute, does it really matter?

I use mobil 1. I would suggest any current production synthetic would work. My cheap buddy uses walmart synthetic with the same results I get with my mobil 1. We were recently in the same cqb class together. Both our bolts made it through with 1 initial oiling. Your climate may effect the best viscosity, but I bet all of them are plenty good for keeping a bcg lubricated.
