I use either IR air tool oil or marvel mystery oil.

Remoil

I try to blast the low use tools before putting away. (Finish Nailer, etc.)

Generic stuff, got a big bottle and even with a couple spills i have a ton left...

and yes, if unoiled things can get weak. Had a buds air hammer than wouldnt go at all, had sat who knows how long... i put a good dose of oil in it and gave it 5 min to soak, it managed to start moving and roared back to life as the motor ran the lube through...

I put 2 drops in before i use a tool, and if it's been used heavily or i see any moisture, I'll make sure to oil and run it a few seconds when im done.

Has a boss one time, used his air gun, oiled it, thinking l was doing the right thing, He complained that I had oiled it, and now it was not working, or not working properly, told me he never oil's it.

I oil mine every time I plug one in. I use whatever air tool oil I have. Right now I have the HF brand.

I use ATF. Rarely oil though to be honest... When the tool starts chuffing is my normal reminder...

I've used Marvel Mystery oil for the last 50 years. Hasn't failed me yet. And it smells good!

I've used the marvel mystery, but then I bought a quart of mobil almo 525. I can't tell any difference between them. It's a little cheaper to buy the bigger bottle. It'll be a while before I use up a whole quart!

Mac Tools oil because it has a flip top spout that fits in the air fitting perfectly. Pn P04.

I use Lucas air tool oil. Pretty thick stuff haven't had any issues with it. Oil every air tool right before I use it. Figured it's cheap insurance instead off spending $110.00 to have snap on rebuild it. Also use an inline water separator at work.
