Question 1

Need an oil for use in alaska.  temperatures between +20f and -10f, would this work and not freeze?

Accepted Answer

I don't know exact temperatures, I went with Slip 2000 over Frog Lube due to reports of cold weather issues Frog had, and Slip working fine in cold weather. Although, I live in the dessert, and don't ever plan on getting colder than 20Â°.

Question 2

Can I use this for general rust protection, i.e. to replace Boeshield (a rust inhibitor) for my tools?

Accepted Answer

I believe you can as it has worked for me so far.  However, I don't know if I would use it for tools as it's primary purpose is as a lubricant.  This is where it shines.  It seems a bit expensive to use soley as a rust inhibitor.

Question 3

I've heard them claim this is the official product used by the United States Marines, any Marines on here that can confirm? And give a honest opinion on it's performance in the field?

Accepted Answer

Last I checked, the Marine Corps was still using the original Break-Free CLP formula.  They do have a limited contract with Slip 2000 that has just been renewed for a larger order.  You can tell items available for military usage by looking at national stock numbers.  Slip 2000 has made those numbers available here:http://www.slip2000.com/national_stock_numbers.phpJudging by the absence of EWL, I would surmise that the USMC is not using that right now.Still, I used to use CLP just because that's what I used while I was active duty.  I now use EWL and recommend it to everyone over CLP.

Question 4

Can you tell me if this is thin (like oil) or thicker (like vaseline)?

Accepted Answer

It's thin, like oil.  It's a thicker/heavier weight oil than the slip 2000 gun lube.  The slip 2000 gun lube is thicker/heavier than say Hoppe's gun oil or Remoil.  The slip 2000 family of oils are synthetic and are my favorite.  They penetrate well and don't flash off when they get hot.  I use the slip 2000 EWL for my AR rifles and SMG's.  I use the  slip 2000 gun lube for all my pistols.  I've tried different greases.  Once I found this stuff (slip 2000 products), I gave up using grease.
