the other day I googled ," how to maintence /oil PCP rifle" and found Dow Corning 111 grease can be used for that. I purchased it. now, what part of the rifle that I should lubricate ? I am thinking I can apply just little on a pin since it is the part that get pulled/pushed & twisted during cocking. what aobut O rings inside? also, I recently got by Benjamin Disco less that 2 months. I have been firing it around 1000 shots though. thx

Usually, the Disco owners, such as myself, use plumbers silicone grease---found at Lowes, Ace, and it's cheaper than the Dow Corning. You can lube the O-rings with it. I did use it on the bolt once around the bolt o-ring, but it just made the seal loose when loaded, so now it doesn't get lubed. You can apply a light layer to the fill adapter and the inside of it when you take it apart for maintenance (the fill adapter will eventually get corrosion, so you will need to disassemble it to clean and lube it). The valve can be lubed and the inside of it lightly lubed. The gauge block can be lightly lubed too. I don't use it on the hammer or hammer spring. It has a tendency to thicken up when the temps get cooler. I actually use non-detergent SAE-30 for the hammer, hammer spring and the inside of the tube the hammer slides in. I did give the hammer and that part of the tube a good polish, too. Then the mods start and then you are forever hooked, and a little broke.
