Try it. You might want something a little more viscous. Try auto engine oil. I use a synthetis hydraulic oil from AutoZone. You don't need some fancy over priced stuff that they sell specifically for sizing or turning.
Years ago, a benchrest supplier, long since out of business, sold me a small plastic bottle of turning lube for what seemed like a lot (given the size of the bottle, and the weight of my wallet at the time), a whopping $5. The lube is a thin dark red oil, and it works very well for turning necks. IMO the only way to know the suitability of your oil is to try it, and it surprises me that you seem not to have done that. I have tried a lot of lubricants for turning necks. Most of them worked.
why would you do that ?
A better question is why shouldn't he consider it?

The only lube necessary is when using non carbide mandrels in which case the ID of the case neck should be lightly lubed. Brass is free-machining and as such the cutting tool on the neck OD should not require lube. I have transitioned to carbide mandrels, but used to use a 50/50 mix of STP and Mobil 1 10/30.

Before I consider using something, I always want to know how will I remove it afterwards. How do you plan to remove it?
Mobil 1 Racing 2T is designed for use in 2-stroke chainsaw and chainsaw engines and prevents wear on critical engine parts.
I don't think it will be difficult to clean, I was planning to use ultrasound.
ANY 2 stroke engine application. 2 cycle oil is an excellent lubricant

It was the Spanish? I was questioning.
I guess you should consider lots of different things. The reason I don’t is I prefer not using something that’s what I consider ‘ off label use’. These magical mixes seem to be backwoods gypsy mysticism. An example would be, to me, using CLR for cleaning barrels. Sure for some it allegedly works but I’ll pass.
It is indeed. For two stroke engines.

If I had 25 liters of the stuff, I'd prolly be using it for case lube, laxative, and fish frying. Heck I'd be looking for using it for body lotion and hair slick -- maybe even fence board preserve. jd
