    Crosman Pelgun oil?

    Can't get it out here.

    Is there any readily available substitute?

    Will a decent quality mineral gun oil do the job?

    What gives the Crosman stuff its red colouring?

    They reckon it's special seal lubing goodness that gives it that pink colour - the truth of it I do not know.

    I have read that a non-detergent light oil (nd30) is basically what it is - the kind of oil you get for lawn mowers.

    Yes, same as automatic gearbox oil, which looks, feels and tastes the same - does the same job at a fraction of the price

    I bought a big bottle ages ago - I expect that it will last me till I pass over to the other side
