Just go to a sporting goods store or your local paintball shop and pick up some Hoppes 9 or Gold Cup Lubricant.. or Shocker Lube if you wish (one of my friends uses it on his 98 for some odd reason).. Hoppes 9 will cost you 2-3 bucks.

Hoppes 9 is the way to go.  Pretty cheap too.

I really like Hoppes 9. I also have used the Extreme Rage stuff and it seems to work well.

Kind of like Rain-X for metal. Ask them for a free sample and use a hair dryer to treat your marker. Then don't use oil unless you have to, since crap sticks in oil.
Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken!

Uh, won't Hoppes cause the O-rings to degrade?

Just remember one thing:

Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, use WD-40.

Or Ducttape. I proved the saying "ducttape and WD-40 is all a redneck needs in life" untrue this way.

Well, you learn something everyday. Thanks for the info.

Did you mean petrolium based?  Petrolium based oils and solvents will break down rubber O-rings.  Hoppes No.9 is mineral oil and is safe for O-rings and rubber parts.

NO, Hoppes is a mineral oil. And besides, most orings in use today aren't natural or Buna rubber. They are a petroleum based polymer. A synthetic. Unless Tippmann is trying to make a dollar off every owner every year, I doubt they would ship their guns with something that will damage them.
