Do you need a special cleaning kit for a AR-15?

How often should you clean AR-15?
A good rule of thumb is to clean your firearm after around 250 rounds, though you’ll want to keep an eye on debris build-up. The more build-up, the more risk of wear and corrosion. If you notice build-up happening, you may want to clean your firearm more frequently.
What parts of an AR should be oiled?
