Sounds pretty thick to me. I think your viscosity is too heavy. I wouldnt trust this in cold weather. YMMV.

Dont forget the WD-40,PB rust bust and a shot of Marvel Mystery oil. Should be more slippery than goose poop going thru a goose.

Interesting you would decide on that recipe. The Armalite AR web site recommends, if you're out "under the wire" & have lost immediate access to modern, dedicated gun cleaning/lube products, there a lot to be said for cleaning with ATF (Dexron) and lubing with synthetic motor oil.

Don't forget the tranny fluid leaves your hands cuddly soft afterwards

You sound like a guy who has never used Gunzilla...
Gunzilla ...you'll never go back to the other stuff.

Seems easier to buy the Gunzilla than mixing up a half gallon concoction of oils and fluids, but that OMO.
But hey whatever works, it's all good!
