Now what FDA Synthetic Oil for the Automag?

[[email protected]]

I have only used Super Lube Air Tool and it has worked wonders. I quit playing in 2001 and came back a few months ago. Super Lube Air is all that I had ever used. My mag sat around for nearly 8 years. When I took it out to shoot it, everything was still clean and lubed like I had just done it a day ago.

This lube is definitely the best stuff out there.

No, it's not your imagination. It is thicker/stickier. I like it because it will stay on the metal surfaces and orings longer than the other oils. I don't think that the extra stickiness will increase the friction by much, especially with the PTFE.

Yeah, I've never caught it sticking in the field. I like the thickness for the level 10 too.

We probably want a heavy weight oil. The mag's oil needs are kind of like yours and mine are for water, except you want it to stay where it is once you've lubed it. But we don't want it in the barrel.

Right? Actually, why is a good quality paste/grease lube not recommend in the mag?

Too much of a pain to take off the power tube tip to lube the oring everytime. And using lube, it would be hard to get to all the tiny areas in the valve. The mag is suppose to be a low maintenace "oil it and forget it" type marker.

Sounds like the Super Lube is the way to go. Any reason to with the one over the other?

The teflon one is usually easier to find since it shows up around the local hardware stores. I had to order the air tool oil. There's not a lot of difference, but I think the teflon variety is a little more sticky and seems to be able to string out a level 10 oring longer before it starts to leak. I like the air tool oil for markers with solenoid valves or pneumatics since it likes to creep more.

I think we can say they both work without any problems.

I contacted Superlube about their oils before I purchasing. All of their base oils/greases are the same. The some of the main differences between the products are the viscosity and additives. So essentially, the only difference between the air tool oil and the oil with PTFE is the thickness and the addition of PTFE (maybe a few other minor things).

I grew up in the 80's believing that a PTFE coating is slicker than hell and will make things last longer. So that's why I use the oil with PTFE.

In a slight bind. The Super Lube I ordered isn't going to show up in time for a game tomorrow. I don't have a whole lot of options for paintball stores. So I may end going to Lowes and getting:

Kobalt
Synthetic Air Compressor Oil

16 oz. bottle
Non-detergent, single viscosity oil
High quality 30 weight
Provides proper mixture to keep your air compressor at its best quality performance


Hopefully this would work?

I also have a Home Depot, Menards, and Ace near me if those stores had other options.

For one day? I wouldn't worry about it! Even a week! But I'm sure someone could lend 4 drops of gun oil at the field!

Just got the gun and there is a leak in the valve. I'm hoping oiling it fixes the problem. Wanted to get the all issues sorted out before hitting the field.

[georgeyew]

I think that ACE carries SuperLube.

Mine does.
