I use the Sig Oil that comes with them. Otherwise the Hoppes stuff works fine other than not liking the application tip on the bottle.

I use the Hoppes gun lube too on the slide/frame rails, one drop on guide rod, and some on underside of slide and exterior of barrel and then I wipe the exterior of the frame and magazines down because SIGs like to dry out real quick and I am outside a lot with mine. The first signs of rust will be at the rear of the rear sight.

Works great.

Hoppes. I've used that oil and cleaning fluid since I was a snot nosed kid and I'm pushing 65 and it's never failed me.

I have 3 Sigs including a P239 SAS and would caution you about using just oil on the slide. Most of the experienced guys on SigForum will tell you, as would I, to use Grease on the frame rails and slide. I prefer TW25-B that comes with Sig pistols, others swear by Slide Glide by Brian Enos. Either is fine, but Sigs like to run wet and with Steel slides on alloy frames, you'll thank yourself for it.

Yes Grease is good too on the insides.
