Don't refer to it as lube, refer to it as what it REALLY is, PENETRATING OIL!

The answer is NEITHER! It's white, and as I said, it's a formula they unfortunately no longer make
I'm told the new tan formula doesn't work so well for airsoft

I use exactly the same products in my GBBR and GBBP and never had an issue so far. Of course, I clean them after each game and relube them like new

WAT.

that's hilarious... what else do you pick up while you're there? :P

Sorry for the bump but I gotta ask this. I also have the Permatex Ultra Slick Multipurpose grease. It says directly on the bottle that it is safe on plastic, rubber, metal, wood etc. It also states that it contains petroleum. I believe this stuff is just like Superlube and is based on Synthetic Hydrocarbons. So heres te thing....if it contains petroleum how is it safe on rubber and plastic like it states? Are you using it on your gears as well as piston rings?
