Try a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and kerosene. You
will be amazed how well it both lubes and protects against rust.

This appeals to my prejudices no doubt. But I just read Bob's thought
that kerosene retains the waxy fraction. If so, that would work for me,

The 50/50 kerosene and ATF is an old formula for a gun oil and short
term preservative. I didn't even think about it being bad for paint but
it has worked great on my rifles for many years.
