FX 4 Stage Pump Grease

[exsquid]

New to PCP so looking for advice for the proper grease to keep the main (outside) pump shaft lubricated. The grease listed in the manual doesn't seem available in the US and the second option seems a little bit generic for what the seals may need on this type of pump. Any thoughts from those that know would be greatly appreciated.

Any paintball lube should be fine. Most are a Dow 33 or 55

Plumbers 100% silicone grease. A small amount should be around $6-$8 in a hardware store.

Thanks guys!

I find grease to be too viscous. 30W silicone oil is a better choice. It’s what most pump manufacturers supply, including highly respected ones like Hill

Silicone grease is better suited as an assembly aid for static O-rings (those not exposed to sliding).

^ Silicone oil or grease tends to do the job well!

+1 on silicone oil over grease for hand pumps, and grease for static o-rings, I am sure a blend of the two wouldn't hurt either for hand pumps.

RC shock oil. Yo!
