Title: Silicone oil I can buy locally
Post by: Paul67 on February 12, 2019, 02:07:00 AM
Does  anyone know  of any silicon oil I can buy for my Seneca Aspen like at Walmart or Lowe’s or someplace like that or can I only get it online?

Do you have any RC model (Cars/Airplanes) shops near you ?

If so buy a small bottle of Team Associated 30wt silicone oil, part number 5422; should cost roughly $5 or $6 bucks.

My brother bought like 3 different viscosities of pure silicone at a paint ball shop several miles from me, they look like 5 ounce bottles for about 8 bucks a piece.

Something like this from Lowe's (https://www.lowes.com/pd/3-IN-ONE-All-Temp-4-oz-Silicone-Drip-Oil-Lubricant/50370414)?

They also have this "air tool oil" (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-8-oz-Air-Tool-Oil/3583014) that sounds like it would work just as well.

For using on a PCP it's gotta be pure silicone oil, if there's petroleum in it it's no good for temperatures involved using HPA.

It is not 100% silicone, it has other additives in both.

Right you are, Walmart has you covered (https://www.walmart.com/ip/100-Silicone-Oil-Treadmill-Belt-Lubricant-Lube-with-Patented-Application-Tube/930226241).

I thought the whole idea was for the OP to be able to buy locally instead of placing an online order & waiting, plus what's the "wt" on the belt lube because that's not mentioned ?

60%, Silicone Based Multi-Purpse Lubricant

It's the other 40% that might be an issue...

I haven't used the walmart stuff, but the treadmill silicone lubes I've used are a pretty heavy viscosity.

 I have been using up to 80 wt silicone oil mainly on pumps, and nothing under 30 wt.

Ask for Team Associated or Losi 30wt shock oil.

This may be barking up the wrong tree altogether but motorcycles use silicone brake fluid and fork/shock oil the msds would tell the composition of it and it can be found in most motorcycle shops. Cave
