Got this query out of a well-respected military officer I've known for a long time serving in the Office of Defense Cooperation, Joint & Army Affairs, US Embassy/France
Anyone considered/heard of it? My own opinion is that while it might be a good CLP compound, it would be too gummy/residue-prone even when wiped down. Others' [actual] experience out there?

“When choosing lubricants, again there is again there is a wide
variety of commercial products on the market. Hoppe's,
Remington, and many others all make good quality gun oil.
However, my personal choiceisDexron III Automatic
Transmission Fluid (ATF). Synthetic ATF was originally
developed to replace sperm whale oil which was used in early
automatic transmissions. Sperm whale oil is one of the
finest lubricants extant. The modern ATF is an excellent
substitute, offering good lubricating qualities,rust-prevention,
and it also contains surfactants which act as a detergent
to float dirt away from metal to which it's applied.
Finally, it is significantly cheaper than oils sold
specifically for use on firearms.”
