Good and good job.Thanks to take your time to do this video. I was considering to use lithium grease for hight temperature. This video so helpful. Thanks again
im pretty sure my saiga has gotten a bit hotter than 300 degrees because i accidently touched the barrel after 150rds and almost burned all the skin off the tip of my thump. personally i think that a gun shouldnt need greased because you arnt always going to grease or oil to guarantee function. i think gunslick is supposed to turn into a liquid because it has grafite in it and then it gets distributed when the other components melt
I am going to try the lithium grease in my 1911, will casually run about 250 rounds through it and see how it does, will also have ballistol in there but not on the rails.
Just like on a car, I don't use one lubricant everywhere. I looked at the grease on a new Browning pistol to see what is done at the factory, and it is only on the slide grove and way towards the back where the bolt or slide will travel, not close to the chamber or barrel. These areas are not the hot points on a firearm. The lubricant (likely CLP) used in the barrel is the one which needs to stand up to heat. Where I live, the other lubricant areas for the trigger, slide, bolt, etc, need to work in the cold. So I'm looking at the minimum temperature rating on the grease. I checked my lithium grease and it is rated -40F to +300F. If the slides on my pistol were anywhere near 300 I wouldn't be able to hold it. I doubt they reach 200. The barrel and bolt head is a different story for temperatures, and no grease goes there. Thanks for the test, it was interesting. The wheel bearing grease I'm seeing for sale is also lithium based, and has a temperature range slightly moved up for low and high. So I think the white lithium could be better for cold climates.
heat and pressure would both be factors, physics change at extreme heat and pressure. Good test for the heat part, I had a college professor that was a metallurgist and we learned a lot in his physics classes. I clean my weapons religiously and have found BF CLP acceptable with no failures. Just speculating, ATF or Manual Trans fluid might be the best lube theoreticaly. Pressure + heat resistance. Transmissions get much hotter than engines. Chemical reactivity are also issues. GREAT vid!
You want to use high temperature wheel bearing grease, I use the red color one. Where grease has an issue with firearms ? When it's very cold out, can cause malfunctions.
I use a VERY THIN FILM of synthetic wheel bearing grease on AK`s. Military LSA Weapons oil on my AR`s, Wilson Combat slide grease on my semi -auto pistols and Hoppe's gun oil on my revolvers. The important thing to remember is , they only need a VERY small amount of lubrication. Too much lube just becomes a magnet for grit and carbon, and makes cleaning a real pain in the ass.
Great test Fred, I am really glad you tested the wheel bearing grease, since that is what I use. I use the High temp Moly bearing grease though. Interesting how the Balistol started boiling at less than 150 degrees. That and the lithium are a total fail for high temps I would say.
I have used Mobilegrease 28, a synthetic aircraft grease with an NLGI between 1 and 2. It's red and stays put. A thin, nearly invisible coat is all that's needed on the sliding and rubbing gun parts. I don't know the price now but should be around $8-10 for a 13oz. tube for use in a grease gun. Have no problems with it and recommend it. hnobleh
you should do a test with vasoline to see how it compares with the olther greases and you shouldent put the divots in we want to see how much they run when they get hot
I use Tetra Gun Grease, it works great. It's about $5 a tube but you only need one little squeezed dot of grease for each part and rub it in. I'm still using the same tube I bought in Oct. 2011 and there's still about 1/3 left. It's operating temperature range is -100°F to 750°F. Great stuff!
@GoGreenMan Thanks for the reply . That sounds like the way to go for me . Use what works for our troops and you really can't go wrong . Thanks for your service ,Gerry
I use lithium grease and it's awesome. They did an m4 full auto stress test on Son's of Guns and it got to like 170°f max, and that was the barrel, not the action. Also the brand I use says it's made for high temps and on the front says "will not wash off, melt or freeze, long lasting lubrication." You really should test a few brands.
Ok, final comment here I hope. Based on the tests you did on Gun Oils and Greases for Hi-Temp and those tests done on Learning Firearms channel for subzero freezing; on my tenth or so reincarnation when I've used up all the various lubes I've already wasted money on, I'm switching exclusively to Mobil 1 for my lube and whatever bore or action cleaner that's around for cleaning. Thanks bunches for your help.
You need to work out a way to do a friction test in conjunction with these heat tests... Maybe run a Dremel tool with just a piece of steel as a bit. Keep up the good work sir...
Went and picked up some Coastal at Autozone, it's a lithium high temp wheel bearing grease with a dropping point that exceeds 500 F.going to give it a try first but thanks for the info....
hey fred, just another product you could consider testing... called WeaponShield they make greases and oils. might be worth a shot. thanks for the great tests man!
I fire a M134 minigun on a regular basis. The M134 is manufactured by Dillon Aero. They suggest/use TW25B which is a lithium grease. I can get the barrels glowing in no time. TW25B holds up no problem when it comes to lubricating the weapon which consist of a whole lot of moving parts. The only downside to using TW25B is that it will attract a lot of powder, sand, dirt, etc.
"I guess it doesn't get over 300 degrees in your gun?" What kind of remark is that? Don't you know? How did you pick 300 degrees? I'm not a gun nut but I do know you should use as little lubrication as possible because the lubrication traps any foreign debris as well as combustion gasses. Furthermore, lower temperatures are as much of a concern to the action of a firearm as higher temperatures.
Jeffrey Hudson You know a lot about lubrication, you should do your own video. I picked 300 degrees because some of the lubes were already failing and I wanted to show folks what I learned. I do these videos to share and learn while being RESPECTFUL to one another.
Jeffrey Hudson It's Ass Clowns like Jeffrey Hudson that have to make Snarky Comments that don't help one bit.. I appreciate the Video's this Guy does. There interesting to me and I appreciate Gear Obsession taking the Time to do them..
The hands down best gun lubricant I have ever used is a product called corrosion-X. It can be hard to come by but I would like to see you do a review on it. I use it in my ar, and I have never had an issue. It also handles heat very very well!!!!!!!
Tetra gun grease is what I have been using on the RAILS and barrel contact points on a semi auto. I have NEVER EVER seen it change in consistency and Tetra gun grease IS LITHIUM grease based.
if u live near the coast (salty air/water/moisture) youll find that all tetra products have an adverse reaction with salt wich causes rust to form faster than it would with nothing at all. run a test urself and be prepared to be shocked. i didnt know what was happening with my sons rifle (used it as a protectant/rust inhibitor) when rust kept forming. did some research, tested myself and voila!. realized I spent $10 on a rust accelerant.
there are lithium greases that have a much higher dropping point, i have one advertised at 387 fahrenheit. regardless, bolt carrier group on an ar15 after 3 mag dumps rarely gets hotter than 130 degrees F on a direct impingement setup. on a piston AR or an AK i would assume much less heat is transferred back on the bolt and carrier. With regards to heat build up on the friction points - your grease should reduce friction enough to keep heat down as long as it sticks to the surface. great video though
Exactly. The problem with this test is that the different greases and oils are not being allowed to prevent the heat at which they are being subjected to. Most Lithium Complex greases have a very high Dropping Point. The one I use is 'Super-Tech (Walmarts brand) and it is rated at 500F Min. Dropping Point. No firearm chamber would ever come close (even in full auto)...if so rounds would start to cook off. The barrel is a whole different subject...but then again we don't grease it. lol. Lithium is a soap base...that is why unless it is allowed to cool the parts it cakes, but would never as long as it was being 'worked.'
Use pure synthetic automotive grease like mobile 1. 16 oz for $10 at Auto Zone. Rub on a tiny amount, wipe it all off. A very thin layer will remain. 1lb would last an armorer years.
lithium grease is not all the same. www.texasrefinery.com/product-specs/paragon-3000-tomorrows-grease-today.pdf This one has a max effective operating temp of 570 F. Also there are many other "high temperature" lithium greases that are effective at even higher temps.
Awesome video, great science here, thx for sharing, made me a believer in grease, purchased Lucas Red n Tacky and works great on all pistol slide rails with less cleanups than before.
Thanks fredhart for the demonstration! Definitely interesting experiment. Unfortunately living in the People's Republik of Kommiefornia, I probably wouldn't find that wheel bearing grease here since our Country likes to regulate what we do and/or use. LOL
As a diesel mechanic I will tell you, your issue is the WHITE lithium grease. You need to be using red lithium grease. The red lithium is hi temp. Thanks for the vid
There's a test for someone to do: How hot does the action of an AR15 get? I've seen M60 and M2 barrels literally melt and droop. Also, I use Hi-Temp Lithium Wheel Grease: is that any different than White Lithium Grease? You mentioned Hi-Temp Wheel Grease and White Lithium Grease but not Hi-Temp Wheel Bearing Grease, Lithium Complex. ?? Just curious. Maybe you've already done a vid but I haven't found it yet. Anyways, enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work. Oh yea, may I ask, what do YOU use on your firearms for cleaner and lube, if you don't mind? (or point me to vid maybe).
First, you should find out what actual gun temps reach in heavy use. Lithium fans - heat is going to transfer unrelated to lubes; gun temps are entirely due to firing temps, not friction. Purely based on the visuals, the SuperLube looked the least affected, perhaps slight loss of solvent made it thicker? You need to keep going higher than 300 deg. What is used in Formula One wheel bearings, where carbon discs glow red hot, likely over 1000deg?
ANY gun grease will fail eventually if subjected to heat in a 'static' test. If your firearm receiver is getting that hot you will have rounds cooking off. The lithium was not being 'worked' so it had no influence on the temp it was exposed to. The Lithium is a soap base, so it thickened...but it would not have allowed the parts it was applied to create the friction to achieve those temps, but if so, it stayed put and did not liquefy. Think about it...the Lithium would never be exposed to those temps in a firearm regardless...especially if it were allowed to reduce the friction.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214914714000385 Apparently if you get your gun up to 300 degrees you won't be worried about it's lubrication. 150C=302F
@fredhart can t comment on the subject have no gun i enjoyed the experiment at lower tecnical school we did Biology so if i may ask more experiments.i enjoy it
The pink Mobil 1 wheel bearing grease has a much higher flash point than liquid wrench. That liquid wrench crap is the Walmart cheap shit. Get the pink performance grade Mobil 1 bearing grease. Its meant for race cars that have braking systems that get red hot.
+1 on quality, red bearing grease- it is a staple in the oilfield for non-vehicle applications both uphole and downhole. The results speak for themselves. In my experience with downhole environments (e.g. wireline), white lithium grease starts to liquefy and run if it's been in a well-bore for more than about 45~60 minutes- considering that wells, at least the locales I've been in, run from about 140~220F so I can't exactly recommend it. On lubricants, Rotella is also a good option- it has a lot of additives, namely Zinc, that help with corrosion and wearing.
SuperLube is awesome stuff. You put tiny dabs where metal and metal slide across each other, like the slide and slide rails. You will not be sorry for using it. I always clean my guns and then use a little SuperLube on the moving parts. I will not have a gun that fails on me and so far SuperLube works, after thousands and thousands of rounds. To put it in prospective, I buy about 2000-3000 rds every gun show cause I shoot ALOT, at least 2x per month I am at the range and per range visit I use at least 500rds. 9mm, 45acp, 22lr, 30-06, 8mm, .30 carbine, 762x39, .308 and 12ga, My guns work, period and SuperLube is amazing, stays where I put it. I first break a gun in and then check for wear, where ever I see rubbing, thats where I add a little Lube and Boom, slick slick slick results after that. Oh and please use Militec on all firearms, stuff is amazing, penetrates and provides dry lubrication while not attracting gunk.
***** No, thank you for reviews, love seeing people testing like crazy. If it wasn't for people like you, I never would of found the gear I use today. Keep up the good work.
I've had similar results with Superlube. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. It's a synthetic grease infused with Teflon. They also make it in a spray version as well. Superlube also lasts a very long time. You can get a big tub of it for $12 or so that will last for years. Superlube liquid is also fantastic, you can get a 4 ounce bottle for $5 on Amazon.
Good and good job.Thanks to take your time to do this video. I was considering to use lithium grease for hight temperature. This video so helpful. Thanks again
cool test, something else to consider is the wheel bearing grease is made for bearings not slides lol
im pretty sure my saiga has gotten a bit hotter than 300 degrees because i accidently touched the barrel after 150rds and almost burned all the skin off the tip of my thump. personally i think that a gun shouldnt need greased because you arnt always going to grease or oil to guarantee function. i think gunslick is supposed to turn into a liquid because it has grafite in it and then it gets distributed when the other components melt

Interesting..
Can you freeze it and see if it gets "sticky" or tacky ?.
Can't hurt to see what happens going the opposite directions?
What do our troops use in the fight ? I'm sure there is a difference in ful auto or extended fire . Great test .
You should try Lucas red and tacky the same one for your car/truck...
@krazy45cat we used CLP and Break free. No we didnt use anything different with full auto or semi just MORE of it more often for auto.
super tech multi-complex grease
Great test Fred, I am really glad you tested the wheel bearing grease, since that is what I use. I use the High temp Moly bearing grease though.

Enjoyed your video. I wish to point out that if you read the labels of stuff nearly all products cause cancer in California.
Only in California? Lol
you should do a test with vasoline to see how it compares with the olther greases and you shouldent put the divots in we want to see how much they run when they get hot
@krazy45cat BUT in the field we actually try not to use much of anything, because it attracts LOTS of dust and grime
I use Tetra Gun Grease, it works great. It's about $5 a tube but you only need one little squeezed dot of grease for each part and rub it in. I'm still using the same tube I bought in Oct. 2011 and there's still about 1/3 left. It's operating temperature range is -100°F to 750°F. Great stuff!
“It says this one is known in the state of California to cause cancer, so this only cause cancer in the state of California” 3:39
There is a product called fluid film that works excellent as a all around cleaner, lubricant and protective film
I've never used it on guns-but use it on damn near everything else! Awesome stuff...
Here's another option: Silicone Ceramic Brake Lubricant. Rated -50F to +3000F. Heat would not break down that! It's 100% synthetic.
@GoGreenMan Thanks for the reply . That sounds like the way to go for me . Use what works for our troops and you really can't go wrong . Thanks for your service ,Gerry

A lot use Lucas red and tacky grease
You need to work out a way to do a friction test in conjunction with these heat tests... Maybe run a Dremel tool with just a piece of steel as a bit. Keep up the good work sir...
You could probably lube your gun with KY. Just as long as the parts have a little bit of slickness, it'll do.
Can you do rem-oil in the next test please?
Went and picked up some Coastal at Autozone, it's a lithium high temp wheel bearing grease with a dropping point that exceeds 500 F.going to give it a try first but thanks for the info....
Nice video. I have been following your plate of truth tests since the beginning.
hey fred, just another product you could consider testing... called WeaponShield they make greases and oils. might be worth a shot. thanks for the great tests man!
@fredhart Awesome, I can't wait to see it!
I am looking forward to the heat test of the oils. Great vid...thanks
Have you considered using the oils & greases in extreme cold? You do a good job on the videos, the information is useful. Thanks for doing the work!

@KiloSierraAlpha IDK, it did pretty well on the original plate of truth video regarding rust protection... just sayin'
Fred another great video once again!!
I have this toaster oven.... Great for wings...
Well how hot does a slide get anyway? Its not that you are putting grease in the firing chamber. I use grease on the slide/bolt.

I wonder if lithium greas acquire acidic (or any kind of erosive) feature after exposured to high temperatures?
Motor cycle chain Lube????
As a diesel mechanic I will tell you, your issue is the WHITE lithium grease. You need to be using red lithium grease. The red lithium is hi temp. Thanks for the vid
Whats the brand name of lithium grease you use?
I want to give it a try.
Pretty good test! Like to see a follow up on different variety of greases!
Interesting test Fred. I've seen some vids where AK47's stocks caught on fire. I doubt anything would hold up at that temperature :)
Great and informative video as always, Fred!
There's a test for someone to do: How hot does the action of an AR15 get? I've seen M60 and M2 barrels literally melt and droop.

MrHeteroErectus Some lube in some firearms are almost static, but your point is very valid.

Apparently if you get your gun up to 300 degrees you won't be worried about it's lubrication.

Great test with some useful info. Also handy cause I don't have to mess up my own toaster oven. :P
good vid

"CRC" white lithium grease in the red and white can at walmart
Why wouldn't you just use a cupcake or biscuit pan? Seems a lot more logical and less work.
Thank god it
The pink Mobil 1 wheel bearing grease has a much higher flash point than liquid wrench. That liquid wrench crap is the Walmart cheap shit. Get the pink performance grade Mobil 1 bearing grease. Its meant for race cars that have braking systems that get red hot.
Agreed, a quality wheel bearing grease is the way to go. I can't think of many environments more extreme than inside a wheel bearing.
+1 on quality, red bearing grease- it is a staple in the oilfield for non-vehicle applications both uphole and downhole. The results speak for themselves. In my experience with downhole environments (e.g. wireline), white lithium grease starts to liquefy and run if it's been in a well-bore for more than about 45~60 minutes- considering that wells, at least the locales I've been in, run from about 140~220F so I can't exactly recommend it. On lubricants, Rotella is also a good option- it has a lot of additives, namely Zinc, that help with corrosion and wearing.

Now lets try it in COLD!
you have to get lithium complex - drop point is 500 degrees.
basic lithium grease stops being effective @ 300 degrees

I've had similar results with Superlube. Absolutely phenomenal stuff. It's a synthetic grease infused with Teflon. They also make it in a spray version as well. Superlube also lasts a very long time. You can get a big tub of it for $12 or so that will last for years. Superlube liquid is also fantastic, you can get a 4 ounce bottle for $5 on Amazon.
Try Mystic JT-8
Ill let you know when I get home
Only auses cancer in CA ;) safe for us Dutchies then :). Love the tongue in cheek there
