I hadn't really been following this since I don't use FireClean. Pretty interesting though. Especially the Vickers switching ammo conspiracy (though, I wouldn't put it past a good marketing team).
At the end of the day the lesson is the same as always is, do your own research, use what works for you in your environment.
Really why does anyone care if it IS a modified vegetable oil, if it works?
The wife and I have a pistol class coming up. I will completely clean and degrees my M&P and use only vegetable oil for the class.

Which is extremely health hazardous. I'm friends with a former Reconnaissance Marine (before they were called MARSOC) who got Leukemia attributed to Benzene during the burning crude lakes and oil rain while deployed for Desert Storm
I was around some burning/lit crude but nothing of that significance fortunately....the winds were usually in my favor.

Lots of AK guys actually do just buy motor oil.
I still don't understand why people are so mad.
A company saw a market, developed a product (I don't think it's simply vegetable oil, but it would be plant based oil with additives), marketed the the product VERY WELL.
They had to recoup cost for R&D, that huge marketing campaign and make some money. It appears they did a good job and probably made a lot of money.
Good for them!

Very true. Most all motor oils have the same base composition, but different additives that give them their unique performance characteristics. The motor oil life is usually based on how long these additives can hold up. From what I've read the spectral analysis showed that it's a vegetable lipid, but does not show what the additives are.

All I have ever used is Aeroshell and diesel weight engine oil. I actually tried Froglube once because it was free and that garbage was overpriced even then.
And unless you have oil dripping off the bolt carrier I would bet you are exposd to more particulates and carcinogens in rush hour traffic than caused by lube used when firing a weapon.

The professor had something to say about the formulation and its relevance as a gun oil. “I don’t see any sign of other additives such as antioxidants or corrosion inhibitors. Since the unsaturation in these oils, especially linoleate residues, can lead to their oligomerization with exposure to oxygen and light, use on weapons could lead to formation of solid residues (gum) with time. The more UV and oxygen, the more the oil will degrade.”
