Mac air tools

[Commando]

I have a few Mac air tools, couple impact guns, ratchets, grinders... and they have been sitting awhile and wanted to know what kind of oil I should use (air tool oil of course). I did a quick search and found red line oil, but what is the best and/or recommended?

-Thanks

Any brand of air tool oil ought to do. When I was a tech I used a mix of motor oil and transmission fluid for years with no problems.

I use Coilhose Pneumatics brand.
ATL004
Made in USA.

Any good air tool oil should be fine as long as from a reputibale source.

I also have found good luck with air tool conditioner; especially, for old or air tools that haven't been used in a long time or ones not performing as well as they did in the past... it has brought some of mine back to better performance! It really seems to clean out

This along with any good brand of regular air tool lubricant; will work great...
