Neither article included any actual test results, just unsubstantiated opinions. Doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong, but they provided no actual test results or links/mentions of test results. Brownells certainly has a financial interest in selling gun oil, and not aware if they sell any motor oil.
attached is a link to an older test as an example, not as the perfect method of testing

Likely there are many actual tests.
Have been using Mobile 1 full synthetic as a lube and wipe down for some time now. Never had a rusting problem, but saying i never had a problem means very little without details. Have noticed that after several wipe downs, the metal surface seems slicker, even after wiping down with dry cloth.
