My machine came with a bottle of oil it was regular air compressor crankcase oil available at your hardware store.

It comes with a conventional oil that is pre measured for the compressor. Although the compressor comes empty, so any type of compressor oil could be used. The better the oil the longer it will live if proper maintenance is followed.

I use a couple of different brands of pneumatic gun lubricant with my Hitachi. I have a great number of pneumatic guns and tools of varying brands. I have yet to use the tool manufacturers recommended brand only or specifically. I have never had a tool failure and some of mine are over 20 years old. As far as I know, no pneumatic tool manufacturer produces a proprietary lubricant. The lubricant is a light weight oil of generic production, just like chainsaw bar oil.

I only use rem oil for inside the barrel, and the seals. And very sparingly. This lube is OK for the exterior, but not recommended for break barrel guns.

I usually try to use 20% of the total oil capacity with this lubricant, will not hurt anything! been using this way for over 15 years,

I use regular chainsaw oil, any good oil to keep the chain lubricated should be fine.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

I use a pure mineral oil and it works great. I've used "plant" based oils in the past but there is a danger of bacteria growth.Snow River 8-Ounce Wood Oil

I have been using this air tool since the day it arrived on cars, trucks, small engines and heavy duty vehicles. The ONLY lube I use in it is the standard air tool oil in the squeeze bottle. Never had any problems and sure I won't either. The only time I will use lithium grease is when taking a broken air tool apart just to grease the inside parts. I use an air compressor on most of my air tools but also run nitrogen when using the EXACT SAME air tools from home, at the race track. Still no problems.

No, there is a Hoppe's No. 9 lubriating oil for which this appicator was designed to use versus the Hoppe's cleaning solvents. This oil is high quality and think it would work well to lubricate router bit bearings.

Thanks for the question. I am no professional by any means when it comes to what oil to use for your boat motor. Myself personally would invest my time researching the best type of MARINE specific oil. Im sure of the performance and protection royal purple provides for land vehicles. There may be specifications for marine engines. Best of luck.

Silicone based lubricant. I used in the whirly jets of my hot tub and it has done great.

You need to check your owner's manual. It will list the acceptable lubricant(s) to use but most likely will not refer to a specific name brand. The manual will describe the "service" and "weight". If your question is whether or not to use a synthetic lubricant then I recommend the synthetic over the petroleum based. Hope this helps.

Oil made for shredders; use manufacturers recommendations. Not frequently in general.

Yes, you do need to use a lubricant. I used Griot's Speed Shine liberally and it worked great.

I'm not sure--think it's more of a lubricant. I think you'd have to send an email to the manufacturer to be sure.
