Well I've had my Fly for awhile and its in need of a good greasing. I dont have love juice grease readily availible to me at the moment. I know the manual states "love juice extreme grease" is needed, but my friend has some clear silicone grease. Im not going to risk applying it without getting a factual answer here. Im not sure if it is too thick to be used or not, or if it will have any ill effects on my o-rings. So help me out guys. Many thanks.

Dow 33 = silicone based
Dow 33/ shocker lube will work in a pinch

Correction, petrolium grease=bad, silicone grease=good
I have been using silicone based lubes on my markers for years. I used 10wt radio controlled shock oil for my marker lube oil. Silicone grease should be fine providing that the consistancy of the grease is similar to most paintball greases, like Love Juice grease or Dow 33, etc...
