What kind of oil to prevent Flex Rash?
Hey

The guys at powerhouse recommend White Oil or machine oil, but what oil should be I looking for at my local automotive parts store? I couldn't find any of that, I do have lithium grease and multi-purpose grease spray, what should I use?

Re: What kind of oil to prevent Flex Rash?
Stop by Sears or anyplace that sells air tools and ask for air tool oil - it clear really light oil but buy the smallest bottle since one bottle will last for years!

air tool oil or an extremely fine gun oil would work well.

Re: What kind of oil to prevent Flex Rash?
THAT one I knew about. I fingered a dab of Royal Purple 10w-30 on there already. Don't see how it could hurt anything. I was asking, because I was afraid perhaps the gears needed oil or something more potentially harmful...
Thanks
