Marvel Mystery Oil

Ron Wood · 01-25-2018, 11:55 AM

A couple of old time collectors I knew used to keep a small square of sheepskin, still with the fleece, lightly oiled with Mystery Oil to wipe down their Lugers after each show or when they had been handled a bit more than usual. It was a ritual with them and the guns stayed looking pretty good.

I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil in all of my air tools for decades. It seems to keep them working 100% to date.

That is likely a good use; 3 in 1 does the same job for me.
For air tools a quart of either would last many years.

I used to use ATF in my air wrench. It seemed to work OK.

I think pretty much any low viscosity oil is ok! but not one with detergent, or it may "foam".
