What oil do you use for your precious gems?

[lidocaine]

Title says it.What do you all use to lube your precious automag?
Personally I use gold cup, but am not sure if its good or not, its the only thing ive ever used.
Doesnt petroleum eat o rings?Im pretty sure gold cup has petroleum, this is why im asking for some suggestions as I know mags are a trigger frame, a barrel, and o rings.

Thanks alot!

ive used gold cup for roughly four years on all my markers and it has yet to destroy an oring. its the only oil i have used and i will keep using it or something similar. hope that helped some.

Blue synthetic in all of my Automags and AKA Extreme Lube in most everything else. I've never had a problem with either.

I use the blue synthetic because I don't like how other lubes discolor the o-rings. I prefer a light blue tinge to the coffee-stained-teeth-yellow I get from most other lubes.

I used to use Mobile 1 Synthetic 0 weight on my cockers... A quart would last forever.

I've never had any problems with gold cup though

I use air tool oil that I got at a thrift store.

Hopes Nine Gun oil. That was the stuff to use back in the day and i always have it around anyway soo thats what i use.

But i could also use air tool oil always have several containers of that stuff (I am a mechanic)

I use craftsman pneumatic oil. The Automag is almost the same as a pneumatic sledge hammer.

the only problem I can see with air tool and motor oil is that they tend to be sticky (almost magically magnetic) for grit and dirt to adhere to...

I could only see this being a problem if you're dropping beach sand down the asa or using the marker as a shovel... I've never had dirt in any of my markers.

Although a little extreme I have to agree with blizpaintball42. Most any lubricant will hold dirt/sand/hair/whatever if it comes into contact with it. I suspect that if you put any of the listed lubricants (in this thread) on a surface and you sprinkle a little dirt on it I bet it will stick to that lubricant.

I've always been a big fan of air tool oil. Never had any problems on the mag, the carbine or the PGP when I've shot airtool. Plus it's cheap.
