    Airtool oil, and yes I would go through the air fitting on the side of the valve.

      I like using Gold Cup. Always been good to me. ASA is the recommended spot.

        Here is a previous discussion on the oil topic:

          I been using Tri-flow for years on my mag. The oil won't dry and gum up the internals like most oils do.

          And just about all Pro teams use it from cycling to NASCAR

            It's not really picky. Any clean, medium weight oil that won't gun should be just fine.

            If the oil is made with Magic Elves, it will work best.

                If you grab the stuff made with magic elves make sure the bottle says filtered, the other stuff is chunky and has a tendency to block passages.

                  Correct. Also, the stuff should be made by magic elves. The stuff made with magic elves tends to have chunks.

                      Since KC is out of business, it's hard to find any leftover stock.

                        this is true. you can occasionally find it on Ebay and by doing a yahoo/google search
