What kind of oil to prevent Flex Rash?

[m4gician]

Hey

The guys at powerhouse recommend White Oil or machine oil, but what oil should be I looking for at my local automotive parts store? I couldn't find any of that, I do have lithium grease and multi-purpose grease spray, what should I use?

Stop by Sears or anyplace that sells air tools and ask for air tool oil - it clear really light oil but buy the smallest bottle since one bottle will last for years!

 

[LichtS]

air tool oil or an extremely fine gun oil would work well.

What part of the Flex needs oiling? I haven't used mine yet...

 

[Jeff Laughhunn]

THAT one I knew about. I fingered a dab of Royal Purple 10w-30 on there already. Don't see how it could hurt anything. I was asking, because I was afraid perhaps the gears needed oil or something more potentially harmful...
Thanks
