Best oil for releases?

Anyone have suggestions for a good oil to use on a release? I'm assuming something that doesn't collect dirt easily, but I don't know which would be the best to use. I am mechanically illiterate. Thanks for the help.

 

There may be better, like a scentless lithium grease or the like, but I had a Scott Wildcat sticking on me a couple years ago and I called up Adam at Scott and asked his opinion.

I put a drop of Household 3-in-1 oil on it and it worked like a charm. If you're exceptionally anal, you may want to do that a month or so before the season due to any lingering smells, but I'd bet that one drop would dissipate pretty quickly scent-wise.

 

I've used Tri-Flow with good results.

 

I'd user mineral oil if I hunted with it. Mineral oil doesn't smell like petroleum products will.

 

I wouldn't use anything liquid because of the freeze factor. I use a dry graphite powder in mine... solves the scent issue too.

 

Tri - Flow works well for me as well .... and Dead Down Wind Orderless Oil for the Anal times.

 

Thanks for help guys and gal.

 

interesting, what kind and where can you get it KA?

 

I just use dirty oil from my last oil change in my pickup.
