Kroil is a penetrating oil, not a lubricating oil. Like WD40 and others, its main ingredients is petroleum distillates (mineral spirits, naptha, etc.), which 'strips' most of the oils, along with 'gunk'. The oils are the rust preventative.

Thanks for that. Good to know if considering to use it on a firearm.
