Default Air Retract Lube.

I have a pair of Yellow Retracts in my YA Jug. They are second hand and older. One side sticks until "excersised" . Any one have a good recommendation for lubricant for the air cylinder "O" rings?

Thank you in advance.

See if you can find Parker Super O LUBE. It comes in s a small white tube of 1/2 oz.
The info on the back says: Manufactured for: Parker Seal, Lexington, KY . Ph 859-269-2351.

This may be the same stuff BVMsells.

air tool oil works great and it won't harm the rubber O rings or lines, rather it plumps up the rubber, I use the Senco brand 6$ for more than you can use in a lifetime http://www.cposenco.com/senco-pc0101...s-and-coatings
