Now what FDA Synthetic Oil for the Automag?

[custar]

IIRC, Dan said AKA lube is pre-additive transmission fluid. I also seem to remember you need some sort of dealer's certificate to acquire it. Palmer's lube is also good. I just use plain old synthetic air tool oil from Lowe's or Home Depot.

IF I use gun oil, it's Hoppes 9 or Gold Cup. But usually I use extra virgin olive oil. Works great.

But is it FDA approved?

But is it FDA approved?

I would assume so...

Ok, lube must be FDA, customs, or Department of Agriculture approved.

Seriously though Lenny, what's the longest you have left an application of olive oil sitting and did it show any signs of gumming up?

[Freebird]

lube can be SAE too i believe, not sure though

I clean my gun after every day of play, and shoot 4 drops in the ASA before every day of play. No idea how long it'll take to gum up, but it works well in summer and winter.

I got the idea from a thread here in the tech section a while ago (maybe a year or so?)
Do a search for more info. I can't remember everything that was in it.

But yeah, extra virgin olive oil. Cheap, can buy in bulk, and it works.

Well an automag has probably more in common with pneumatic jack hammer then most paintball markers. I use craftsman airtool oil or any air tool oil. It works great.

And another....

This is the stuff I'm going to try. This sounds the closest (perhaps even better) to KC Trouble Free!

I came accross this while searching for the VI index for paintball oil. Not recommending it or anything but just funny that someone else has come out with an oil "just for paintball markers".

4 oz for $4.10 plus shipping.

If you do try out the lube, please let us know what you think. If it is good, I may switch to it as well.

Food grade - Fda regulates what times of things that factories can use to oil their equipment and belts that fall in the range of food contact surfaces, ie at sara lee bread where i used to work.

Food grade - means not deadly or will not cause any bad things if accidentally ingested.

However i wouldnt down a bottle either.
