I talked to my repairman over the weekend, and he and I talked about how I oil my horn. Basically I was over oiling the bearings of the rotors, and in doing so the oil was covering the sides of the rotors and slowing everything down. He suggested that I rise out my rotors with rubbing alcohol

Joel, just to clarify, this means that what you've found works for you is to _not_ unscrew the caps on the rotor and apply oil there, but just to pull the slides and put oil in that way? I just want to make sure I understand what you're saying. I've also taken to oiling my valves this way and it

I was using hetman light rotor oil for the top, al cass for down the slides, and very little stp oil treatment for the slides.  The rotors didnt slow down until I reoiled them about 5 days after I got the horn back from the repairman.  To oil it, I usually put oil into the slides, push them
