A gun oil will work fine for cleaning that gun. This oil is for the chamber only, in the hole leading to the barrel as you never want to get a petroleum based oil in there.

A couple of drops of Silicone Chamber Oil in the small chamber oppisite from where the pellets are placed, well keep the piston and seal properly serviced. This should be done after 1,000 or 1,500 pellets are fired through the rifle, but avoid over lubercation, because it will cause inaccuracy in the weapon by saturating the barrel with oil. Do not continuiously clean and oil the weapon. This practice is unecessary, and will adversly affect weapon accuracy and performance. When all else fails, read your weapon manual, and follow the manufacturers maintenance guidance.

Is yours leaking any fluids by chance? Mine started to shoot just puffs of air 90% of the time and I noticed that it had oil / grease leaking from the black plastic bit just above where the connection is on the gun. Only used it 2x, no jams, never used higher than 100 psi etc. In the process of sending it back and getting a porter-cable.

For a pistol I would use The Winchester Universal compact cleaning kit. It has everything in this portable kit to clean any size caliber for handguns. Also inexpensive.

I would go with the pull through cleaning system. That is the one i got and it is very easy to use and cleans my .22 and 12 gauge awesome. I would recommend this cleaning kit in the pull through. Fricken love mine. Use it every time after i go shooting.

If you have a spring piston air gun, do not lubricate piston or spring with anything but airgun oil. It's non-flammable/non-combustible. Dieseling can occur with the wrong oil, possibly damaging the air rifle.

The original..Remington Vantage is a springer and it did not have a nitro pistion, however, Crossman now makes the Vantage with a nitro piston: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Crosman_Vantage_Air_Rifle_With_Nitro_Piston...stock is simulated walnut color

Without buying an actual cleaning kit, my best advice would be to gently wipe it off with a micro fiber towel or cloth. All the same, I'd buy either a cleaning kit which will have everything you need, or gun oil. A small drop or two every 4-6 inches on both sides of the blade will help keep oxidation to a minimum. It just needs a small coat of oil every once in while. Nothing drastic.

Not sure. We don't have any issues. Are you using good quality bbs? You may want to clean the barrel with some silicone lubricant or light oil. To do this, take magazine out and fire the gun a few times to empty out any bbs. Take the battery out. Shine a flashlight in the magazine well and look down the barrel to see if there is any debris on the sides of the barrel. Clean as necessary. Hope this helps.

Mine did, unless they changed format based on economics. Just go to Google and ask: Does Hoppe's Cleaning Kit Include oil .....if not, go online and Google Hoppe's, however I AM 99% CERTAIN AS I JUST TOOK A LOOK AT MY KIT AND IN FACT IT IS ALL THERE. Double check to make sure, and if you have questions regarding maintenance of lead pellets with 'wash and oil' process let me know I will respond accordingly.

Be careful. Some expecially with any regular gun solvents.Best to check with Crosman.

Maybe a little bit of oil on the cocking mechanism, and a good microfiber cloth to beep the scope clean. I have had mine for nearly a year, use it fairly regularly and have had 0 issues with it since purchase.

I use Hoppe's 9 where it calls for a drop of oil. As for cleaning I use CLP Break Free (spray can) or Ballistol. I have never used miltec so I can't really comment. It is my opinion that you clean the gun or rifle immediately after use breaking it down per manufacturers instruction with any reputable product. Take note of any unusual wear and lubricate accordingly.

None of the above. 98% of all the experts say that you should never have to clean the barrel of a pellet rifle. I bought the oil because I have a nitro piston and regular pell gun oil isn't supposed to be used in it.

I just use Husqvarna Bar oil and that seemed to work fine. I would recommend draining the extra oil before storing it.

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

You must see what the Crossman recommends. Not all guns can use the oil it will destroy the o rings.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts
