A friend of mine with HPD says Frog Lube is what their armorers are promoting. Their video demo is pretty impressive.

I'll probably be getting that when my Militec-1 runs out.

For oil, I use Automatic Transmission fluid. It stays longer and is super cheap.

I put a generous amount on my 10/22 last time I cleaned it. If it can stop the grime buildup on that I'll be sold.

It seems to be kind of waxy which seems would help repel water and lower viscosity when it heats up. I think some of their claims are ridiculous: "dissolves petroleum products on contact" and "absorbs into the metal" come to mind. BUT if it can keep the lasting properties of grease without becoming sludge too fast, it'll be worth it IMO. It's also non-toxic.

If you want to try grease just get some grease. I've used wheel bearing grease, moly grease (cheap! you can get a giant tub) and a few gun-specific greases out there. They all work well. I'm going to move away from the Moly-grease I have right now. It's a black colored grease and its hard to tell if it's dirty or not. I recently picked up something called "froglube" but I'm putting that through it's paces right now.

I'd get some wheel bearing grease and add it to your kit. $5 will get you a lifetime supply and it works for more than just guns. If you find it doesn't work well, move to some of the gun-specific products as they seem to be a bit thinner than the auto oriented greases.

I've found that grease picks up a little more debris than oil does. It stays put longer though and it has much better wear-reducing qualities on sliding parts.
