Most people swear by Mobil One synthetic being the gold standard. 10w40 is what they say is best but that's probably getting picky. I will say I've noticed lighter viscosity tend to evaporate faster than heavier but if you shoot once a month or so and clean/lube afterwards that's not a problem. Mobile One is also not a great corrosion preventative, so safe queens should use something like Eezox for long term storage. Or tranny oil.

I've read the USA is probably the only country that uses lube made specifically for guns, other countries use whatever dribbles off a dipstick.

Dextron II or III transmission fluid is also excellent. It doesn't change viscosity and is high detergent, keeping carbon buildup down.
