There is a special grade and all you have to do is ask for air tool oil. If they don't seem to know what you are talking about be real careful about taking what they give you.
Most times air tool oil comes in a squeeze bottle. There are some substitutes you can use that will do a good job and you can get in a larger size. I buy something called Marvel's mystery oil. Not sure I got the spelling right. You can get this at Wal-Mart and a quart will probably last you a lifetime. I keep the smaller squeeze bottle that often comes with the tool and refill the smaller bottle for convenience. ----- Original Message ----- From: Agent86b To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 2:39 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Air tools and oil G'day all, I am new to air tools and love them. I will have several dumb questions I am sure. My latest is What sort of oil should you use in them? To me it smells like sowing machine oil, but I am not sure. I do know that the oil for tools is not the same as what goes in the compressor. I think the manual for my compressor says use 30 grade oil. This is much thicker than what goes in each tool. Thanks for any pointers. Max. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
