oil

would 3-in-one be a suitable oil to use?

For lubing your gun or what? I dont know how it would react to the seals so I would stay away from it. Just use ATF fluid (every gas station and auto parts store has it) if you are looking for alternative oils.

Personally I use Mobil-1 fully synthetic auto tranny fliud (I have like 4 quarts lying around though). Its great for seals, reducing friction, cold and high temps, and is a great cleaner and protector in one. I tust it 100% in my car, which see's tons more abuse then an air gun, or 90% of other auto-equipped cars on the street for that matter. Plus a 6$ quart will last you your pb carrer, unless you spill it.

Use KC Trouble Free oil.

Tranny fluid is absorbed by the skin, bad thing for you.The mist of tranny fluid from the gun is also inhaled by you, very bad thing for you.

ok well
lets rephrase the question.. what oil works best with mags. PERFORMANCE wise. and, would 3 in one be ok for now?

Gold Cup oil.

Dont use 3 in 1

dont use 3 in 1 man. I am not positive but pretty sure its petrolium based. Just stick with Hoppes 9 or Gold Cup

Well seing as how I do my own work on my car and my gf's car I'm not to concerned about getting a little more atf fluid into my skin The only fluid I cant stand is mobil-1 synth gear oil now that stuff stays with you for days.

I would stay away from the 3-1, as Ive never heard anything good about it.
