Tuning What oil to use on Co2 guns?

[Mehlert1]

I would like to know what may be best on my Co2 guns to lube my gun? I.E. Co2 cartages. I know you should use a small drop of oil when you put in new ones.

Crosman 241 Pellgunoil, M-Pro 7

Suggestions!

I might be scolded as it might cause issues I have not personally seen, but I use any air tool oil sparingly. Like this:

And it is also nice to have around to keep the air tools running well.

The Pellgunoil is fine stuff too, but more expensive for a smaller amount. But heck, you really don't go through it all that fast, especially if you aren't using too much.

Switched to plain old Mobil1 synthetic oil on everything. I mean everything. CO2’s, PCP’s, springers, pistols, and all my powder burners. (AR’s, etc) I shoot a lot and never had an issue. Cleanup is fast and 1 quart will last a looong time.

I use pellgun oil which is Alphabet org. One small tube of it from walmart has lasted me years so far, but you can absolutely just grab a quart of Alphabet org and put it in a dropper bottle. 

Basically any petroleum based oil will work fine, you are using it to keep the seals swollen mostly.

I use Tippman Paintball Gun Oil. Cheaper and in Larger bottles and is the real thing for CO2 O-rings.

I use pure silicone oil. Like treadmill lube. It's great when you get a pcp too.

I use Pellgunoil on my co2 cartridges as it's cheap enough and last quite a while. I do refuse to pay the prices companies want for there silicon oil so I use Super Lube O ring oil at $8 for 4 ounces. For trigger lube and other wear areas that need lube I use Super Lube Synthetic lube which I use on all my firearms and anything else that needs lubed including my camp trailer ball. For general gun cleaning and oiling my go to is the M-Pro 7 line of products.
