I am getting ready to order five of these. I see sticky valve problems. What kind of valve oil should I order?

We been using valve oil from Yamaha, Jean Baptiste and C J Conn. Any other brand of musical instrument "valve oil" is okay to use as well. Hope this help.

Not sure....my daughter's band director gave us some and we oiled them up and they work great. Sorry

I didn't have issues with my valves for this trumpet, I will say that the 3rd valve slide on mine is very loose and has a tendency to slide down and out on a regular basis. The tuning slide itself also was well lubricated. I believe these horns come with valve oil in their cases. I do not recall, but you can never go wrong with Al Cass valve oil but it generally run $6 a bottle.

We haven't had a single problem with sticky valves on this horn. We purchase Holton Valve oil from the local music store and it works fine.

Al cass is fine. Selmer would work too. Consistent play/use with regular oiling should be enough.

Rule#1, Never buy something if you know little about it. There really is no difference between one valve oil and another. The important thing is that this is not a $2,000 trumpet, so it will use a lot of oil, just like any other cheaper trumpet would. a cheaper priced trumpet can sound like a $2,000 one when played by a pro though. Sticky valves? I would say not, just remember to oil them often, and don't play them in freezing temperatures unless you oil them right before you do.. This one is the best I've seen for the money..

Try to look them up online or u can contact the company. They're pretty basic really if u just play with them. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can help further. My 6 yr oil figured them out faster than I did lol

Generic oil works fine. As with most chainsaws, store it level to prevent leaking. (I'm not sure it would leak, but better safe than sorry.)

My oiler worked perfectly out of the box, but last time I used it, I don't think the oiler was working well. I didn't have much to saw and made a note to try to clean out the holes, etc for the oiler when I had time. I figured it was just clogged...

Had one on diesel going on 13 years in the Pittsburgh, PA, never had an issue. Buying for my wife's car after loving the valve. Makes the changing of oil a lot less messy.

My answer is check your manual to see if they recommend WS (World Standard) Fluid. If you do not have a manual check with some of the Toyota websites or a Toyota dealer.

The valve on the one I bought leaked. I would use a sealed battery which is maintenance free and worry free.

Mine needed oil to be added. I would think that yours was test run and they forgot to remove the oil before shipping it.

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

5w 30 synthetic is recomemded by Brigg and Straton, (the engine manufacturer). I prefer synthetic over the regular oil. I will start using it next summer.

As a seasoned wrench turner, I've always found it's best to not use anything additional to valve cover gaskets. If the valve cover is not warped and truly flat all the way around, a good quality gasket is all you'll ever need. Don't over torque the bolts.

I learned a long time ago that it is best to use manufactures oil. I would stay with Robinair oil. This takes guessing out of the equation. Hope this helps.

I bought my unit from CPO Bosch. It was shipped with oil in it which leaked all over.. The unit is an OUTSTANDING compressor and I am very happy with it. Despite oil leaking all over it. Make sure and follow break in instructions to insure proper use.

It depends on your luck. Sometime it came leaking right of the box. But it's a good idea to always put some oil on the tip before turning it in

Given the environment that it lives, oil should prevent any rust issues from occurring on the valve lever as the body is brass. I've never had a problem with corrosion or any issue at all.

I guess I don't understand about the oil. I just add a drop or two through the pressurization valve every time before connecting it to compressor hose. The seals on my unit are just great, so I cannot be of any help.
