ATF vs. Sillicone Oil

[trains are bad]

My Mag will be coming in the mail in a week or so. I am not going to buy oil for it but I want to know what to use out of what I have. I use hoppes on my spyders and tippmanns.

I have that, 25wt. silicone shock oil and ATF, plus zillions of gun oils like CLP, Fp-10, milltec-1, etc.

I'm thinking it's between the sillicone and ATF.

I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for sayin' this, but I personally use a mixture between air-tool oil and Dex3. I know ATF is suposed to destroy seals but in my 4 years of using this mixture, I have never had to rebuild my mag. (I do anyways every season, preventative maint). My seals are clean and supple (bouncy, they seal). It's a perfect 50:50 mix, its cheap. My whole team uses it on their mags.

Cheers

ATF is suposed to destroy seals

?? since when? There are seals everywhere in transmissions and mine's been going for 181,000 miles. I don't even know if it's been changed. I guess I'll use ATF anyone know what viscosity it is?

Ya, I wasn't going to bother posting that fact 'cuz I've seen debates about it and didn't want to "get into it". Honestly though, add equal parts air-tool oil to ATF DexIII and it works great.
