Can I use wd-40 to oil it as a substitute lubricant? Can i use automotive paint and thinner as solvent and cleaning solution?

I always use the correct "Throat seal" oil, most good paint shops stock it.

Spray a little wd40 on it after use. They make an oil. But that works just fine

Yes you can use T-55 or any oil based chemical. Yes I got the manual. You should be able to find it online.

If you mean WD40, definitely not (unless you just poured water into your shredder by mistake) - WD40 is a Water Dispersant, not a lubricant. It gets rid of any water extremely well, but then dries in minutes to a sticky residue which attracts dirt and dust, and will gum up your machine. If you mean the motor oil brand, probably not. Fellows oil (per their own data sheet) is just canola oil, so if you're looking to save money just find a suitable container and use regular canola oil from the kitchen rather than motor oil.

No u can use oilbased, but it'll take way to much mineral spirits to clean the machine. I don't use oilbased paints in mine.

I don't think so, this is gear oil. Primary oil is a lot thinner than this?

I'm sure you could use it for lubrication, it is a little thin in viscosity though.

non and detergent reminds me of transmission oil. In your transmission it is a problem. Never heard of such a thing in gun oil.If all else fails get some 5 or 10 weight motor oil. Do not use any oil with paraffin [wax] in it. I have a Ruger Yukon .177and have had no problems. Sorry I could not help you more. When I grew-up gun oil was gun oil.

Hi Salve I. I would not use grease inside your lock. Use graphite powder lubricant instead. You can find it at the hardware store in small tubes.WD-40 is a cleaner - not a lubricant. If particularly stubborn, you might use it. But it should be a last resort.If you can get the lock open, I'd try the graphite first.When the lock is thoroughly soaked after a rain, I close my eyes and blow as hard as I can at/around the dials, lock shackle, and any openings in the lock in an effort to get as much water out as possible. Canned air that they make for cleaning cameras and computers, or a compressor, is even better.After blowing out as much water or whatever out of the lock, then use graphite. Bill B. Hi Salve I.

I have not done that particularly, but I can't see why not, as long as you don't overdo it. I agree that using a base oil is best.

No, it is also works as as a solvent to clean carbon and leave a lubricating film. You can use regular household products like OLD ENGLISH on stocks and such.

No, it cannot. This stuff is like Dexron-VI ATF.You want 75w90 gear oil, probably GL4 or GL5. Something like this:Mag 1 62378 75W-90 Full Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)orMobil 1 104361 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 QuartIt cannot be used for 75w90 diffs, but some diffs do call for Dexron-type ATF. This can be used in those, but not your application.

I use Castrol ATV or Castrol 4 stroke oil, any 4 stroke or atv oil should work fine though

Nothing in the instructions that comes with this trimmer mention using any oil to lube the blade...If it is not called for by the manufacturer it probably is not needed..However...after repeated use some tree`s or bush`s might leave a sticky residue on the blade that could slow down the operation of this trimmer...it might be a good idea to spray a little WD40 on the blade....WD40 is a light oil that will not build up on the blade ....

Yes. This is a dry lubricant that will need to be removed prior to painting.

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

Usually PVE or POE type oil (depending on the AC manufacturer's instructions.) Do NOT use WD40 or vacuum pump oil. It will void your AC's warranty and could cause premature compressor failure.
