Crosman, an american air pistol/rifle manufacturer sell little tubes of red oil for £4ish that is apparently designed to seal air and co2 in excess of 3000psi, what they dont tell you is that it is standard ATF oil .

Use a drop of clean atf oil on the seals...the advantage of driving an auto :laugh:

You beat me to the posting. :( You are referring to Pellgunoil which is dead costly. :angry: ATF is exactly what I use on my airgun seals. ;) I put a drop (ATF) on the CO2 caplet when installing it too. CO2 dries out and rots the (nitrile) rubber.

Also silicone is a no no where there is metal to metal as it locks up.

I must have a couple of dozen air/co2 pistols (from vintage Wobblys to 4 or 5 much modded Steel Makarovs at last count ) so always got the oil.
Also used to have a few early Saxby and Palmer revolvers (Brococks) They used to sell their very expensive special oil (around £6 in the mid 80s) stating that using any other oil would risk damage to seals and invalidate any warranty........and what was this special oil ?

Olive oil ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...
