20W (electric) motor oil. Motor oil is often confused with engine oil.

Even by the people who make "engine" oil, apparently.

 

I would spend the money on Crossman's "Pellgun Oil". I destroyed the seals overnight on my new Daisy back in the day by using "Household Multipurpose Oil".

 

I use Marvel Mystery Oil in my air rifles and ALL my air tools. An old crusty mechanic told me years ago that he used MMO in all his air tools and he had not had to rebuild one that he used the MMO in.:hand10:

 

^^^^^^^^^^ TRUTH right there !

 

I've used Rem-oil in my Daisy with no ill effects.

 

3 in 1 for decades in the Daisies./

 

That was the only oil I ever used during my childhood.

 

+1 for Marvel Mystery Oil
I've got Daisy and Crossman air guns that have been shooting well over 40 years with it.

 

I always used 3 in 1 oil on my Model 25 Daisy and the Red Ryder too. For Co2 powered BB and pellet guns, I use the Pellgun oil.

 

There is very little difference in any ~20w oil... they are nearly all identical, they are all just petroleum oil with nearly identical properties.
I've used 3-in-1 and Rem Oil + Hoppes in my air guns and air tools (and firearms) for decades with zero issues or difference in performance.

The penetrating oils are a different viscosity so I do not use them the same as the lube oils.

 

I use regular gun oil.

 

Break Free CLP would be a good bet overall. It's what I've used over the years for rifled barrel pellet rifles spring loaded (break barrel or lever) action. If it's CO² then (oddly enough) some air tool oil might help keep the gaskets, o-rings and things pliable and in good working order on the insides for the action. On the outside and for the barrel, you'll want the CLP treatment of some sort.
Daisy BB guns or pellet rifles are a bit different in ways than what one normally considers "firearms". I had just recently schooled a co-worker about choosing a scope for pellet rifle compared to rimfire or centerfire scopes. Truth be known, you may find more metal content in air rifles these days than other modern firearms. The only thing you don't have to be concerned about with the air rifles/pistols is the carbon and powder build up/fouling.
Some of the current production air rifles get close to what a 22LR can do. Those might be more expensive than a rifle chambered for 22LR!
We can't technically consider them firearms by definition, but they are closely related in caring for and maintenance.

 

Thanks for the great info. This is for a year old Daisy Red Rider. I think I have some Rem Oil from years ago (less than 15). I probably just use that.

 

Hydraulic jack oil. Always worked for me in all the air rifles I've had
BTW..Just because nobody's mentioned it YET...........be careful !!!! or you'll PUT YOUR EYE OUT there KID! LMAO :biggrin2::rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

be careful !!!! or you'll PUT YOUR EYE OUT there KID! LMAO :biggrin2::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Beat me to it.

 

fireclean! look at all that smoke comin out of the BB gun, it must be getting cleaner!

froglube! bake that BB gun along with your turkey!

 

I use the same thing for airguns as my firearms. Ballistol.

 

I was just wondering this myself, as I took the girls to use the daisy bb gun (for the first time, though we've had it a while) today and it definitely failed to shoot any bbs a few times.

 

Back in the day, if it said "oil" on the label, it got poured down the barrel of my Daisy. It couldn't read labels and didn't know the difference.

 

My brand new Daisy Red Rider manual says to use 20 weight oil, not lightweight household oils. Take that for what it is worth.

3 in One is 20 weight motor oil it is not 20 weight engine oil

 

So is 5 w20 or 10 w20 what ur speaking of?

 

All I owned said 3-in-1.

 

I always used 3 in 1 when I was a kid. My bb gun was a prized possession, and saw heavy use.

I think today I would nail gun oil.

 

I use slip ewl on everything
