Oil for co2 capsules

[kevspace]

Just need some advice on how ofter should I pop a drop of pellgun oil onto my capsules to keep this functioning properly.

If it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve shot the item then I always do the first one of the session.

Rightly or wrongly, I drop a few drops of gun oil into the cartridge chamber every couple of months, or when I remember. First couple of shots spreads it around and ejects excess. Never had any seal problems in almost 20 years, with any of my CO2 guns. FWIW, when I had an RWS 225, Dynamit Nobel the then importers, recommended NOT using Crosman cartridges containing oil, as they tended to clog the valves.

I coat my bulbs with a bit of oil every time I exchange them.

I do something similar with my Co2 pistols. As I don't shoot them all that often I'm hoping that doing so will keep the seals from drying out. seems to have worked OK.

Every 2nd or 3rd cartridge for me...
Do it too often and it's easy to turn the inside of the valve into a gungy mess in my experience.
