Now what FDA Synthetic Oil for the Automag?

[jtamm]

Got the Super Lube. Working great so far.

Thanks guys.

[georgeyew]

Awesome!

[Konigballer]

I got some too, and I linked this thread to a similar one on MCB to further spread the gosple.

of course you could just dip your gun
in the Frier at KFC if "Food Grade Oil"
is really what your after.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :spit_take

We'll have to specify the temperature and time to make it another mag "can your maker do this" test.

The best part of super lube is it is useful for lots of other stuff too.

[georgeyew]

I bought way too much of the stuff. So I keep a bottle around the house for general lubing and another bottle to lube the chains on my road and mountain bikes. Yes, there are many many uses for them.

I know you spent a lot of time testing other oils and this thread is old but here's your K-C with a new name:

Yeah it's a heck of a bargain, I just like my K-C Trouble Free.




Just out of curiosity. Have you noticed SLATO-12004 to brown your o-rings? That's one thing I love about KC, the orings keep their color and condition.

[Spider-TW]

I haven't had any discoloration on o-rings with super lube either.

Mechanic79 has a point; I usually use the air tool oil in electros, but use the multipurpose oil in the mechs (it is a little thicker with the teflon). However, I use the multipurpose in my Freestyle 8 electro, since that is the factory recommended lube.

It's nice to have some dependable options again.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know from the "horse's mouth" that OUTLAST and the old K-C Trouble Free oil IS the same formula. It was originally devloped by scientists in the lubrication business specifically for paintball markers in 1991. The formula was teeked about 8 more times through the years. Even the original formula beat all other lubricants for paintball.

The cheapest...No. The best...Definitely Yes. This oil could have been made cheaper, been adequate to the average player, and have a similar price as others. Some ot the newer paintball oils are transmission fluid concoctions. Most of the older oils are mineral oil based and are not very good. Synthetic oils, unlike other types, can be made to specific applications or for general use. Outlast was made for a specific application. It does work very well on anything that needs oil and is probably of the best with other industries simply because of the expensive ingredients used.

Glad to see you here Charlie.

Charlie,

I am a big fan of the original KC Trouble Free oil and it sounds like Outlast will also be great. I hope to be ordering some from you soon.

So guys i am looking to get some oil to use on all my mags. I have heard 3 options (this OUTLAST being the last to add) that seem to have the most backing and be the best option.
OUTLAST
AUTOLUBE
SUPER LUBE

At this level is it all just the same, its just preference? What about the Other SUPERLUBE on that site with the added Tefelon, would that be a good option as well, or should i stay away from it?

[finnmanpa]

Always loved KC. Looks like I'll order the re-branded Outlast next.

I've never seen anything about autolube being synthetic. Years ago, it would discolor o-rings, but I haven't tried any since about '96 (actually, that must have been gold cup). I used to think gold cup and autolube were the same, but idk. Same question for both though. Even highly purified hydrocarbons tend to get to urethane and/or get sticky after a while. I tend to judge the sticky factor by the film that builds up on the outside of the bottle.

The teflon superlube (multipurpose), is slightly thicker than the superlube air tool oil. It's great for mech markers. It's a little thick for some solenoid valves though (I might have to increase dwell time a little if it is on the edge). It does seem to stay in the marker better.

Between Outlast and Superlube Air Tool, I doubt you will see much difference in mech mags. If you are trying the milk the last few bps out of an electro, I would try them both.

I really haven't tried enough K-C to see the difference (just borrowed). One thing that I really wouldn't know is what happens if you don't clean your marker and just try to feed it oil to keep it running. Outlast may require less to keep your marker running for some number of shots in either case. Well worn and highly tuned markers are good tests of marker lube.

As part of the preference, you have to learn how to use any lube for a particular marker, how much and how often.
