[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2755576, member: 425"] Yeah, there are synthetic motor oils with high-zinc additives for those that want/need them (e.g., flat tappet cams with high valve spring pressures). In these cases, the issue isn't because the base oil is synthetic. In these cases, the same issues arise when you use dino oil without enough zinc additive. There's thousands of flat tappet cams that go 200,000+ miles on synthetic only oil. However, I doubt there are many firearms with friction points that come anywhere close to needing this kind of lubrication...and in those cases, grease would be a better choice. [/QUOTE]
