What lube for auto rifle?

Since lube oil isn't the best for autos in cold weather, what should be used, or should it just be clean and dry. Also, would graphite lube work just as good?

In cold temps, I run my AR-15 with dry graphite or dry teflon lube.
In the long run, I think that the teflon is prob the better choice.
All in all, it is toss of the coin. I have used both and they have never let me down. Both come in what I call "poof" bottles.
Disassemble all parts, clean them "bone dry" and give all parts
a "poof" of dry lube.

I use RemOil but not a lot. Usually oil it up and prettymuch wipe it clean. Graphite is pretty good but seems to get wiped out pretty easy.
