i am using this sci oil i got at my store for like 5 bucks for a little bottle i was wondering if the 3in1 oil is the same as paintball gun oil. cuz i got like 5 ounces for onlyu 2.99 that i use for my skateboard bearings. will it hurt my gun i i used that instead of the over priced paintgun oil?

You dont want to use any PETROLEUM based lubricANTS. The reason for this is beacause it will swell up the seals and cause it to leak. You want to use a sinthetic based such as Teflon or Silicone. Try a paintball specific oil such as KC trouble free, PMI, Gold Cup, or Hopes #9/32*

isn't the time you will spend fixing the leaks caused by the 3in1 oil worth the extra dollar or two you'll spend on paintball specific oil? Also, think about how much oil you actually use. It's not like you go through a bottle per week. Maybe a bottle per year. The dollar or two extra I spend is worth it.
