Mobil 1 will work just fine. Oil is Oil it all comes out of the ground. It's just how the crude is refined and what aditives are added during a blending process.

If Mobil 1 is good for NASCAR then it should be good for the slow moving parts in a firearm.

One of the best bore cleaners is Ed's Red just do a search for it, it's a blend of different solvents and oils. The best part you make it yourself.
