USE HOPPES 9 ONLY THOUGH!! any other type will screw you flatline up. and wreak havoc with the internals!

The manual says to use Hoppes #9, but there have been some reports that Hoppes will damage the o-rings. I don't know if thats true, just something to keep in mind. Any oil designed for paintball markers will work, I personally use shocker lube and never had a problem. And yeah, the best way to clean the A5 is to break it into halves. When you do that, you should also oil all the moving parts directly. Just make sure you reassemble the marker correctly. (The Ball Latch and the Bolt.)
