Where can i pick up gun oil in larger then 1 ounce incremints?

[trevorjk]

like the topic says... im looking for gun oil of any kind just gotta be safe to use in my xvalve anyways ive been using love juice and its way to expensive for the quantity you get so if anyone can point me to a good oil for the xvalve in about 8 ounces or so that would be great and nothing to expensive please ;)

[-=Squid=-]

I was just thinking about this! Im looking for a brand of oil that can be bought in a big bottle from walmart or something, that will work on paintball guns a-ok.

[GA Devil]

ill be carrying them real soon ;)

YOu can buy K-C Trouble free in 8oz bottles. www.kercon.com

I love it, odorless, slick and highly regarded in the pb world.

[Thordic]

Go to Home Depot, and you can buy 16 ounces of Pneumatic Tool Oil for like $4.

I've been using it for years, never had an issue. Its great.

One warning - it DOES smell terrible.

[trevorjk]

no offence to k-c but 30$ for 8 ounces is that even worth it? i was just talking to my friend and his moms a bautician(sp) and she says the oil used in paintball guns is the exact same as the stuff she gets for her hair clippers but for a fraction of the cost? anyone know if this is true? and is there anywhere i can find 8 ounces of oil or more for a fraction of the cost?

thanks for all the inquirys so far i appreciate it just doing a little homework

An OZ of love juice is how much? 8 dollars?

$8*8 oz = 64 dollars.

8 oz of KC = $30/8 = 3.75/oz. That's what's just a little more than an OZ of Gold Cup which runs 2.99-3.50.

Not to mention 8 OZ of any oil should last you an absurdly long amount of time. I'm talking YEARS, unless you tech a LOT of guns.

[Cryer]

do they come in pints?

[Death Angel]

Those bottles of Love Juice are not an ounce, they are .3 of an ounce. That means 3 tenths of an ounce. I called WDP to check the weight. Back to the main topic. I can sell you an 8 oz. bottle for Gold Cup for $15.00 plus shipping, about $5.00.Anyone interested please LMK. Thanks

Pure silicone shock oil found at most hobby stores.Available in various weights if you want that and goes for about $1.50 oz and can be bought in larger quantities.

What weight do you use ?

I found a wholesaler dealing in Dow 200 fluid on the web, can buy by the gallon if ya want, but it wasnt that cheap.

[RRfireblade]

I use the heavier wieght(30-50) in "grease" type situations,and the lighter stuff for everthing else.

I just use the same silicon oil on my guns as my rc car shocks. More specificly, Team Associated 100% pure Silicon Shock Oil (30).

[Kevmaster]

theres only one oil to use...

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

buy it by the pint at your local hardware/automotive/home center for about $2.00

heck, it evne helps leaky orings seal!

great product

[Automag88]

Plus you can use it in your car motor.

I am with Thordic on this. I been using Mobil Air Tool oil for years without a single issue. Good stuff. And a quart is like 5 bucks. Allmost all airtool oils are Synthetic oil and easy on the o-rings. No gunking up at all. And the air tool oil at Walmart is fine too. Devilbis or something like that.

no maybe in your tranny:D

[Automag88]

Actually a lot of people use transmission fluid in their block, it is better lubricating than motor oil.

[trevorjk]

cphil or anyone... is there any type of specific air tool oil i should look at? i mean is there a certain viscosity or anything of that nature i should consider when buying this stuff? and same applies with the pure silicon shock oil... ive seen a few numbers so just wondering... like i said this will be used to put 2 drops in my asa and fire a few times before i start the day

thanks for the help

The pure silicone RC oil can be had in weights from 10 to 90w. For everyday paintball use I'd use the 10-20w.

I like it better than the pnuematic tool oil cause the tool oil is really light weight as it only has to deal with ~100psi in most cases.

Ok, went to Lowes and looked around, they have at least 4 brands of air tool oil, none of em say whether they are petroleum based or not, got confused and didnt buy anything lol. They also had something called air compressor oil....
Any further info would be appreciated.

[trains are bad]

The air compressor oil is for the crankcase of an air compressor.

I'm liking the shock oil idea. But I just use ATF. All I have is spyders and tippmanns though; they are not picky.

[badinfo]

Right, had figured that part out. Did some searching on here and found alot of conflicting info.
Some say tranny fluid is great, others warn against it.
Some say air tool oil is fine, including Tom, others say its no good etc.
Some say petro based oils are bad, some say there is no problem
Just wondering what is true and what is conjecture.

[RRfireblade]

The only hard truth is oiling when required is better than not oiling.

Oil it with something at least.

Just buy some PB gun oil,whatever it costs,it still lasts a LONG time and not a major investment.Chances are if you oil as recommended,you'll never see a difference in oils anyway.;)

[tony3]

You can buy a big bottle of shocktech gun oil. It also has a nice nozzle that makes it easy to distribute. I don't see why you need so much oil. I have been using the same bottle of pmi oil for 2 years...

[UltimatePaintballer]

you could just buy a whole bunch of mums:)
