I want to put a few drops of oil in my vike's ASA after firing off a couple hundred rounds. :shooting:

Can I just use My trusty Autolube? Can I use 100% pure silocon oil? Or do I NEED a synthetic.lube (AKA oil).
I've also heard that KC synthetics work good... is this an acceptabel synthetic?

Is it ok to use autolube until I get a 100% synthetic?
and if the KC or Silocon aren't good, can somone point out a place to buy this oil or link it?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that AutoLube is re-badged Gold Cup. This doesn't answer your question, but I thought I'd reply anyway...

Thank you. Goodnight.

NO!

Autolube isn't 100% synthetic... Only use AKA Extreme lube or another 100% synthetic, like Synthetic Air tool oil. You can get a bottle of extreme lube from DC..

ATS brand Synthetic Air Tool Oil is ideal for all air powered tools. Will not gum up like most petroleum or fish oil lubricants. Mild solvent action cleans as it lubricates. Pleasant "orange" scent. 4 ounces - enough for over 500 applications.

IDK about putting mild solvent in a viking. Most air tools don't use orings like a paintgun but rather piston-like rings. I think I might either get KC 100% synthetic or email DC.

Don't use air tool oil. You're not going to find anything better than KC to use in your gun :) I'd recommend using it in your mags & other markers as well.

I believe that the AKA oil is thinner than the Gold cup oil. Thats something to consider when getting the oil for your Viking.

Synthetic Air Tool oil is approved by AKA. Just get a bottle of Extreme lube from DC.
