REM OIL Reviews & Ratings

REMINGTON REM OIL

Advanced formula cleans, lubricates and protects your valuable firearms so they’ll keep running smoothly and looking like new. Penetrates into the smallest metal pores, then leaves a tough, long-lasting film to help reduce metal-to-metal wear. Quickly displaces even microscopic traces of water for advanced moisture resistance and rust protection. Available in bottles or aerosol cans for a variety of different applications. Plastic bottles dispense oil one-drop at a time, especially useful when lubricating small individual parts. Aerosol spray works great on large areas like actions; includes a straw to direct oil into those hard-to-reach areas. Pre-moistened, disposable towelettes are ideal for wiping down your firearm after a hard day in the field or at the range.

SPEC: 1 oz. (30ml) plastic dropper bottle, 4 oz. (113g) or 10 oz. (284g) aerosol spray can.

Decent stuff, why all the hate?

I've used Rem Oil for over 20 years on over 100 types of firearms and never had any complaints. Yes, it is very thin and designed to primarily be a maintenance item. It is inexpensive and handy for slipping one into each range bag. It works very well as a super slick coating to protect bores and surface areas from rust. None of my guns are rusted, ever. It also acts as a decent lube for those tight tolerance situations. I also use it on fishing equipment. I've never tried to use it for removing fouling or carbon or as a heavy lube or grease as that isn't what it is meant for. Plenty of other products for those needs. I throughly clean, lube and wipe down each gun every time I shoot it, and this stuff hasn't let me down. But I've never tried to use it for other than intended purpose. If your guns are that dirty or that finicky that they don't work properly maybe you are doing something else wrong?

You've Got to Know What It's Good For

This is an EXTREMELY light oil. It's so thin, it's hard to apply just a little. A needle oiler would be better than the squeeze bottle with a blunt tip it comes in. It isn't meant to be a heavy duty lube. That's what grease is for. I coach a collegiate pistol team. I use it on Benelli MP90S Olympic grade .22 target pistols, which are extremely fussy. If you use grease on them, they won't function. The factory oil is also very thin, but is hard to get in the US. I'd never use it on a centerfire pistol. I also use it as a light wipe down to prevent rust.

Decent enough

I've only used the spray version. Works well enough. I only give it 4 stars because it's a bit messy and leaves a residue (not oil, but a white stuff-- probably from the propelant) that then needs to be cleaned off if it ends up on the surface of the gun rather than just down in the springs or where ever. I'd recommend it for something like Glocks or AR's that are gonna get rolled around in the mud with anyway, but not for anying you want to keep pretty.
