What is the best oil/lubricant to use for T-jets and Magna-tractions? I've been looking for the red oil I remember as a kid, but haven't found anything similar at the shows I been to lately.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

Larry Thomas sells the best for my money.
Get the thin for t-jets and the thicker stuff for magna tractions.
They can both be found at:

Thunder Oil is my favorite. It is supposed to be a duplicate if the old red Aurora Oil. It sure smells correct!!

Thunder Oil for the bottom armature hole and any light weight oil fro the gear plate and axel holes.
I like Break Free CLP its a gun oil used by the Navy Seals. I also like SlotPro Speedway Blue Max its conductive and won't foul the ramature if over oiled :)

For the last 2 years I've been using synthetic Mobil 1 5W-30 in a 3cc syringe with a small needle that can be used sparingly and get under the gears on the deck.
Mobil 1 is thin light oil that the consistency always stays the same and never gets sticky.

Has anyone tried Marvel Mystery oil? Just wondering, thought about the Aurora red oil and well, you know. Dave :freak:
