What gun oil is everyone using

[latches109]

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

in California they banned that, we have to use the synthetic stuff

If it’s isn’t Hellmann’s it isn’t mayo.

*I actually make my own tallow and egg yokes salt and or sessions to flavor.

I have had a bottle of KC trouble free since day one. Since then, I get new bottles occasionally when I buy a gun. So it never runs out. I think its air tool and ATF mixed. Its good. Atf is good. Synthetic Air tool oil is good.

Anyone know what Palmer’s oil is made from?

[mercpb]

I have a bottle of "UNCLE JAWNS CHEETAH SPIT" that I've been topping off for 10+yrs, with whatever extra oil comes in the mail with old markers.

60% of the time, it works every time

"Hit Mann" oil. Don't know when or where i got it.

[Grendel]

Any synthetic air tool oil.

From memory, Craig said it was synthetic air tool oil.

Looks an awful lot like the stuff I bought off the Matco truck a few months back... same light blue tint, consistency, etc.

the bottle I have is red

Yeah it was plain synthetic air tool oil. Palmer oil.

You want no solvents. That destroy o rings.

-The problem with a lot of air tool oils is they dry out. The lighter ends eventually evaporate, leaving behind a sticky residue. Back in the day, there were a lot of Gold Cup type oils, where somebody bought a drum of the cheapest industrial air-tool oil they could find, and a wagonload of dropper bottles.

Thing is, air-tool oil is meant for, oddly enough, air tools. And in industrial settings, it's not a case of you drip a few drops into the tool, hook up the hose and go to work. It's a case of your air tool is connected to a device which meters a small amount of oil into the compressed air, keeping the tool constantly lubed.

In such cases, nobody cares how long the oil lasts or whether it dries up or not.

Doc.

Makes sense. Palmer used it in that way. Drop it in and gas it up every time. Like an air tool.

But I also used KC trouble free oil. It definitely has ATF in it, and ATF is super duper stable and designed to keep intricate O rings and seals running perfectly, for as close to indefinitely as possible. Probably straight ATF (automatic transmission fluid) would be good paintball oil. If not straight, than maybe some mixed concoction.

Most of the paintball lubes use a major industrial lube like Dow 33 and some ATF or other thinning agent or something else..plus color die to make it personalized.
