Hey, my autolube is getting on in it's days and I was thinking of getting some oil from the local shp but I don't know what to get. They have a lot of different types, I'm just wondering what specs a mag oil should meet.

Autolube?
I use that Gold something or other oil. It works fine. But their bottles are crap. Leaks everywhere. I keep it in a plastic bag. -

All I use is r/c shock oil, 10w. It's 100% silicone and I've never had any trouble with it.Flying the unfriendly skies.Comment

wow, silicone = absolute crap. Our body shop won't even allow it in any products so I won't be running it through my mag. Silicone over time ruins plastic, rubber .. you name it. O-ring killer.
does KC have silicone in it?Comment

No silicone in KC according to their web site.
This is a good read:

That's not entirely true, as silicone lubes (thinner oils and thicker greases) are used extensively in R/C racing. Your typical 1/12th scale racer has a differential made up of plastic and metal parts and the lube used is usually silicone-based (yes, you can get it in a non-toxic formula). While different in application, there are many of the same high-torque, high-speed stresses in both worlds of R/C cars and paintball markers.Originally posted by MadPSIence
I have never seen a diff ruined because silicone grease was used. Guess it depends on which brand of grease... Anything with solvents, you can eventually kiss those plastic parts and o-rings goodbye.Comment

It's a bit thin and tends to leave the system nearly as fast as it enters -- at least that's how I'm seeing it. Maybe I received a bad bottle, but then again, maybe not.Originally posted by maglover728Comment

Go to hobby shop, purchase 20wt or so silicone shock oil, live happily ever after with your cheap and very excellent mag oil.Comment
