Rem Oil vs. Break Free CLP
Is there any difference whatsoever between Rem Oil and Brak Free CLP?

A lot of difference in viscosity and intended purpose as far as I'm concerned. The RemOil is thinner and I generally use it where I want penetration such as around trigger pins, extractors, and ejectors. 0 -
Both are synthetic gun oils, and both contain teflon particles.
But they are different formulations, and, as mentioned, the rem oil is a little thinner.
Personally I like CLP, basically because I know its actually been field tested in gazillion dollar trials by the US military and its tried and true. Used it for years, never had a problem with it.
It may not be the absolute best cleaner, lubricant, or rust preventative out there, but as a combination of the three in one bottle, it really is pretty hard to beat.
But Rem oil works fine too.
I'd say both are cheap and readily available enough that you can try both and see which you like better. If you can't tell a difference, there is no difference!0 -
Thinner than CLP! I guess I will stick to CLP. My local store switched to Rem Oil, I bought a can and will probably use it, but I think CLP is about as thin as I want to be using for oiling. 0 -
I have the CLP in a bottle and the Rem oil in a spray. It makes spot application or a mist covering easier. 0 -
When making such comparisons, keep in mind that not all BreakFree and CLP products are created equal.
Genuine US military CLP (Cleaner/Lubricant/Preservative) has a significantly higher proportion of the 'Cleaner' component than the commercial formulation BreakFree.
With plain old BreakFree you're better off cleaning with a good solvent, then applying it only for lubrication and corrosion prevention.0
