I think a drop would be too much each time, I would just put a slight smear on with your finger.

Is it a good idea to put a drop of 3in1 oil on the top of each new co2 i put in my walther cp88,and should i be oiling it anywhere else and how often?

Cookie advised me to put a tiny drop of pellgunoil onto the top of every 2nd CO2. It's red stuff that comes in a little tube.

I read on an American site that Pellgunoil is just 20 weight non-detergent motor oil.

And someone told me that it is automatic transmission fluid, hence the red colour
Which brings me onto another lube question, that I should probably post in the general airgun section, but I will ask you guys anyway ;
Is there any reason not to use constant velocity joint grease - in place of an airgun specific moly grease - on the main spring etc of springers?
I have been using this stuff for ages and never had a problem, it makes the springs very smooth and quiet

CV grease works OK for me too. I suspect that an "airgun specific" moly is simply a standard industrial moly grease in a fancy package and with an equally fancy price.
Re. "real" spring tar, Rich from Mich says:-
"Spring tar is black and real sticky it's made by Lubriplate and it's called Gear Shield extra heavy, this is what I and also Maccarri sell as spring tar. Over here it's only 5 bucks for a 10.5 oz tube. It's made for the open spur gears on punch presses."

And THIS is what Jim Macarri says. I tend to believe him. Also, it's auto trans fluid that's recommended for Co2 guns, NOT motor oil.
