(Disclaimer - I am the maker and seller of Bore Doctor and Grenad-Oil)
I'll try to stick to the facts without blatant advertisement. Bore Doctor, a plant derived mixture of oils, emulsifiers and antioxidants, has been around for over 10 years. Grenad-Oil is an exact chemical duplicate of the oil found in Grenadilla wood and other Dalbergia (blackwood and rosewood) species. Thousands of liters have been sold to technicians and players with no reports of bad results on the instruments during this period and additionally under an OEM agreement to make Fret Doctor for string fret boards. Quality control samples of each lot are preserved and tested at designated time intervals for evidence of degradation and turning rancid. Samples that are now over 10 years old show no signs of degradation or turning rancid when stored at ambient temperatures (well, in my garage that has ranged from -5 to over 40 degrees C). Accelerated drug company like studies on Grenad-Oil also indicate stability for many years. These tests run at 37, 20, and 4 degrees C predict useful product stability over time and are the FDA and industry standard for predicting stability of a product sold as an active drug compound - similar tests are done by the food industry.

As to whether any product helps an instrument you will have to form your own opinion based on the evidence available and weighing the experience of others whose opinions you value or the weight of evidence presented.

Doctor Syntek Cork grease is the generic military specification grease labeled as Alysn Cork Grease, and made by the same company that makes Alysn. As with any cork treatment the product must be used for a while in order to penetrate the cork and/or displace other cork treatments used on the cork.
