Ickus is there a specific brand of pen oiler I should use?
A pen oiler is a pen oiler. But I assume you mean what type of oil to use. In the video I showed what I use, but I know most of the guys on the site use a silicon based oil. Bottom line use OIL and keep it as light weight as possible.
I have not looked but I bet you can get sewing machine oil in a bottle with a metal tip.
Ickus has provided a great tutorial, it's all very good informaiton. Can not stress enough that Pledge and WD40 are NOT lubricants. Seems to be one of the biggest misconceptions on this site.
Follow up on CD33. I too experimented with lubes and settled in on silicone. I found it worked better than oils, the oil I found worked best for me was light sewing machine oil.
Another thing to watch for when using silicone sprays (I use the red CRC can) is the propellent can disolve paints. I've messed up the finish on a few of my cars. Now I am very careful when applying it trying to only get a few drops on the axel. One method that has worked well for me is to spray some of the lube into the cap of the can and then use the straw to pick some up (dip in and then hold finger over opposite end) and apply like you are using a pen oiler.
Thank you FTGU.
Sewing Machine oil works great (the oils I use are a bit heavier then sewing oil, but I also run my builds 8 hours a day, and every day)
Excellent way to not get spray everywhere.
