"3 in 1", I haven`t seen a can of that in years.
3 in 1 and a gal. of "Marvel Mystery oil" were mainstays at home when I was a boy. Dad lubed everything that moved with one or the other and often switched depending on which was closest to hand. I think mostly it was 3-1 in the house and Marvel for anything outside, bike chains, lawnmower, etc. A lot of 3 in 1 was applied to rifles by both of us until I moved out and went strictly to gun oils. Dad liked to use Outers "graphite grease" on bolt lugs or pistols where grease was desired. I`ve since heard on a couple of gun boards though that graphite is corrosive to aluminum and hard on anodized finishes..just hear-say, but........
Dad did demand good high quality motor oil for his vehicles though
