I agree completely. Ballistol is nothing but scented Mineral Oil. It is not a superior lubrication product. Anything designed to keep an automotive engine and or transmission running is going to possess better lubrication qualities. I select lube based on how well it lubricates, not on how nice it smells. If I want that I'll purchase cologne.
