Looks OK, says it's safe for sewing machines on the back.

solvents (cleaners) kill orings. If you want to go cheap you can use any air tool oil from Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Since you only use 3-5 drops everytome you air up your marker a small bottle will last forever.

Synthetic oil (what I use) also will disolve orings slightly quicker, but it has a greater viscosity than air oil.

Dow 33/55 has a better lubeticty, but holds onto dirt particles more than oil.

My advice is to look at your playing conditions:
Warm weather play/dusty conditions use air oil/synthetic oil.
In cold weather with no dust or using Co2 use Dow 33/55

Where to apply oil/grease? on orings/seals and on any metal wear marks like where the power tube and bolt make contact. I do a total tear down every 2-3 cases of paint, but just me.

I checked the MSDS on this, it's just their household oil, and it appears that there's nothing but oils in the ingredient list. They have other products that have the solvents in them, so I think I'm good. If not, I guess it'll be oring replacement time.

Dude break down and buy air tool oil from any home center or auto parts store. a 16oz-20oz bottle will set you back about 3-5 bucks and will last you until the next ice age....

Dude, because of my schedule and where I live, it's not that easy. But thanks for the advice.
