If you have o-rings that can take it. Most o-rings in PB are not suited for petroleum based oils. It will pretty much eat them up.

youre not supposed to use it on PBguns b/c like whats said before it causes the orings to become brittle and then they fail :(

spend the 4 bux and get some cheap paintball oil or go to ace or the crib station and pick up some air tool oil.

I use silicone spray, but I may try the white-lithium sprays. I also have air-tool oil but the company couldn't gaurantee me that it was not petroleum based. I may try it though. Anyone else use air-tool or white-lith ?

Nice - I'll try it.

The silicone Im using now doesnt seem to be lasting long.. I feel guilty shooting my marker right now. Those poor o-rings!

Automotive Air Conditioning Compressor Oil(PAG), cool green color, does not gum up if you use CO2 and it keeps my O-rings nice and plyable....I like it better then Gold Cup.

Also just air tool oil that they relabel, add dye to, and charge more for.

I swear by regular old air tool oil. Its the exact same stuff palmers and AKA sell.

ive been using NEOSPORIN for like 3 months man this stuff is good, yes it is the medicine for scars. it basicly vasaline but not so thick and it stops wear on moving parts. id say use it it wont do anything.
