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.
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?

Thanks to you both.

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
Steady Ian.
Its just that monday morning feeling!
If you go along to your local garage and speak nicely to them, they might even give you some for free
Ian
Iv'e been using the full synthetic race oil that used to go in my RC30 and I sold that back in 2001
Same as Ian on expectancy of what I have left
I have a bottle of sae 30 non detergent oil that does the job but doesn't seem to "stick" to the end of the Co2 capsule as well as pelgun oil and tends to run off unless you load the capsule vertically whereas a spot of pelgun oil will stay on upside down even.
Any o ring oil or grease will do the job,many very expensive motor cycles have o rings on the back end a good workshop always make sure the oil/grease they use is o ring friendly.
BILL50
Molygrease is O ring friendly.
Would that do?
