I've got 3 CO2 pistols. Only used in Summer. Always leave the capsules in, stored in a dry room. Never used Pellgun oil, or ATF. As the latter is used in the harsh environment of auto gearboxes, never fancied using in my CO2 guns with (presumably) rubber/composite seals.
Like I said, don't know the answer - but would like to know the best way to keep them running for as long as my old Wobbleys!

If you read my post Bru.... with regards to pistols NEVER leave them with capsules stored. The co2 will damage the valve seal, in addition capsules have different shaped ends so leaving them with one maker will leave an indent in the valve seal so when you use a different brand the gun will piss gas out when you try to seal. Always store with a smear of pelgun oil on the seal to preserve the valve seal. Rifles are different as they seal via a cylinder end cap so leaving it gassed will keep pressure on the exhaust valve preventing any dirt contacting the seal.
