What gun oil is everyone using

[Psycho91]

Ok guys getting some of these markers put together and while I have grease(some old lurker lube idk if that's still being made it's like 10+ years old) I don't have any gun oil, what oil is everyone using to lube their mech guns, I know back in the day gold cup and tri flow were the best but IDK they are still being made either

Harbor freight air tool oil

It's like $5 for a 16oz bottle. Why spend $8 for 0.5oz just because it has a paintball brand on it?

Outlast - formerly KC -trouble free. used it 20+ years. great stuff and a little goes a long way. they make a more viscus version that I like as well. Dow 33 is also always in the kit for the newer guns and reg rebuilds

Synthetic air tool oil - I forget which brand - for old school stuff. Less gummy than the regular after sitting for a couple years. (Many of my guns go unused for a while.)
Superlube for o-rings (they have both oils and greases, but I don't usually grab their oil for paintball stuff. It's on a high shelf.)

Here is a bit of lubricating nostalgia for you, back in the 90's, Brass Eagle, for lubricating it's "Eagle 68", recommended Transmission Fluid!

Here are my 2 heavily modified/restored Eagle 68 Pistols, not lubricated with Transmission Fluid!

Transmission fluid!? The smell.....

[Fubarius]

I forget which one, but at least one big name old school oil (maybe the old AKA lube?) was actually a high end purified form of automatic transmission fluid without the red dye and a few other additives removed. And one "paintball specific" oil sold at a lot of big box stores, from PMI I think?, was a suspiciously red fluid, so a good chance just off the shelf ATF.

I personally used a good old quart of ATF from the gas station in my old BE guns for a number of years without issue.

I have had good success with Outlast. I like the bottle it comes in seals really good so it don’t end up all over the place.

[DocsMachine]

I've been recommending KC/Outlast for literally decades. I have three or four bottles on the workbench at any given time, and somewhere around here, I have a big 8-ounce bottle.

I do have some old Gold Cup (cheap air-tool oil) as well as various bottles of things like Rem-oil, that I've either been given or were in with batches of parts or tools I've bought, and I use those occasionally for noncritical uses, but 95% of the time, when I'm working on a marker, it gets Outlast.

Where are you getting that, if I may ask? A field to my south runs Pro-lites for rentals, and he swears that's the only lube they'll function with, but sourcing it has become a concern.

[Drunkscriblerian]

Not sure why your field owner thinks that...I own a Pro-Lite and I've used a bunch of different oils in it over the years and its worked fine. Of course, its started to give me problems recently but I think that's more how its almost thirty years old and I've never cracked into the valve to clean it, plus it sat in a shipping container for almost 20 years while I wasn't playing. Honestly I'm amazed it still shoots period.

But yeah in my experience Tippmanns aren't fussy about anything, oil especially. Just don't try to use grease or WD-40 and you're good.

Super Lube Air Tool Oil.

[Psycho91]

I see they have 2 types 46 and 68 which do y'all use

[PumpMan10988]

I've had good results with the Super Lube lightweight too:

DeWalt Pneumatic Tool Lubricant. I like the bottle.

[Ramfaux]

I've been using the same bottle of tri-flo that I've had for the past 20+ years, seems to work just fine.

[Jordan]

Air tool oil... and for grease, generally Dow33 but occasionally SuperLube.

[Drunkscriblerian]

In blowbacks over the years I've used Gold Cup, DeWalt air tool oil, sewing machine oil and the Tippmann branded stuff. All seem to perform about the same (exception; my Phantom seemed to like the DeWalt the best). In my Nova I use Superlube and again that seems to work fine.

[KMDPB]

This works for me but I don't have any space guns
