Lubricant for high pressure O rings

[bendogie]

ok....so new here but thought id chime in , if i can help anyone. 14 years springer tunning,but new to the pcp game. the best lube ive found for seals and orings is..... TRANMISSION FLUID! yes doesnt sound sexy ,but you know that crossman pellgun oil been around for years? transmission fluid! safe for orings and platic seals. old mechanic told me ounce it is slippery-er then motor oil. the best ive found is Castor oil universal. seems to be a little thicker and slippery-er then most. excellent transmission oil and great for air guns, and redilly avalible.

I have tried these two . I like the texture of the dow 111 . Sticks a little better and seems thicker. I order 2 small tins at a time of the dow111 from an aircraft supply vendor.

i wouldnt use anything dino-related, one of 2 things will happen in the long run - the material will dry out and crack, or it will get soft and limp and swell up to about 3X its original size haha .. silicone 'oil' abot 30w works best, especially if you regularly lube your fill fittings .. keeps a fresh trace supply coating the internals and rings protecting surfaces from moisture and the rings from ozone rot ..
