Question  08-25-2018, 03:18 PM
I am needing to purchase air tool oil for Porter Cable nail guns. I can't locate a local Porter Cable source. Any suggestions on a suitable replacement? Dewalt?

Any air tool oil will work. I use Marvel myself on all my air tools regardless of the manufacturer.

If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

I have quite a stash of Snap-On air oil left from my mechanical days, so I use that.
No idea who bottled the oil for them.

I also use Marvel Oil. Make sure whatever you buy it is for tools, not the compressor. Two different types.

HF sells air tool oil......Marvel Mystery oil is good and so is automatic transmission oil.

Black bottle, red flip up top... sounds like what I have in the shop. I don't remember it being an issue to source it. Any big box should have something.

Any 10w will do. Have an older squarish bottle that was sold as electric motor oil. And now they sell it for air tools, whatever you can find for the cheapest is the ticket.
