There's a lot of high tech stuff out there---do you use it? Or do you use traditional brands? Or do you like to concoct your own(such as "Ed's Red?")
Just curious.

Kroil oil is an excellent penetrant, probably the best around, and goods for penetrating and lifting junk left in the bore. It's an excellent gun cleaning penetrant as a bore cleaner. It's is not a lubricant nor will it remove copper fouling.
It's important to use a gun oil that stays where you put it, doesn't volatilize and dry out leaving a gum residue, will not degrade (oxidize) with time, as well lubricate. That's what gun oil is designed to do. Olive oil and crap like WD 40 does not and will not meet that criteria. Here's a good article on gun lubricants in general. It's lesson 101 on oils and grease.
