Never used any motor oil for a firearm. Why? In 1995 while training in white sands with the BN M2's the CSM decided that the motor oil would work because the CLP was left in garrison. Out of our 6 M2's 5 of them locked up and had failures that required ordering new parts for them! Why? Because sand, heat, gunpowder, and bullets firing doesn't mix well with motor oil! Yes we were firing on the tripods and yes I know that there's lots of variables and I am aware that many people have used different things for years but I am not willing to risk my firearms when I may need them most because I want to use something different.
In a pinch will they work... more than likely yes but it's called being prepared for a reason!
Btw, my 50 was the only one that didn't need to be fixed!
