air tool oil substitute?
I just bought an impact wrench, got it home and realized you're supposed to put some oil in it, but I didn't buy any. Is there a substitute for air tool oil I might already have, and/or should it come pre oiled enough to use it once without hurting anything?

----, what do you have laying around? wd40, penetrating oil, pretty much any oil that isnt too thick will work

i use tranny fluid, motor oil, pb blaster, wd40, whatever is near.

Re: air tool oil substitute?
If you have some 3-1 oil thats better than wd-40 or anything else like wd40, that stuff will disslove the pre-oil in the impact.

penetrating oil is really thin... ive used atf and 10w30 before with good results though

Air tool oil
By no means am I a master mechanic I can rebuild an engine and fix most anything. I've been building cabinets and working in a shop using air tools since I could walk. WD-40 3 IN 1 PENETRATING OIL? I can tell you from a red arss and experience that if you use wd pb 3in1 in any air tool it will swell the O rings and you will need to rebuild the tool.. Trust Me! Dealt Campbell devilblis denso pasload will not tolerate any type of PENETRATING oil. I don't own Snap on so I can't speak for them
