Well, w a firearm, you don't want to attract dirt so just a drop is required. I use a hypodermic needle to apply a single drop to moving parts and wipe it around. All metal tools require regular cleaning. Modern lubricant are synthetic and cleverly marketed, imo. LSA is the standard; excellent under high heat, aka Catrol Barycote. "Lucas Oil makes a modern CLP. On cleaning: mineral spirit is sufficient. It is just ongoing maintenance for any steel tools, after each use.
