Reply to "What store brand oil should I use?"

I use Woodland Scenics Hob-E-Lube HL662 after Des Plaines Hobbies convinced me to buy it. Obviously not a Walmart oil.

So ... guessing that Walmart sells Lucas oil, I headed over to the Lucas website to see what they have. Under "Problem Solvers & Utility", I see Fishing Reel Oil, which has a needle spot like the Woodland Scenics, and "The Original Gun Oil", which includes the description of "An excellent general purpose household lubricant". As I recall, Walmart sells fishing reels and guns, so maybe you could find those.

Only, Walmart has a website too. They don't sell Lucas fishing reel oil (but yes to other brands), but they do sell Lucas gun oil, and other brands.

That bottle is 8.33 and my WS has a sticker of 9.99, maybe in 2017. Hardly seems worth the price savings.
