After some experimenting using a mix of alcohol and Glycerine which will become a very hard “Stearin” when exposed for aluminum we have started using Corrosion X with good result. Corrosion X has very good lubrication capabilities, will not affect rubber gaskets  and seals and is very anti corrosion.

  We use it in both tanks during annual and spray some fluid into the adapter hose if we need to top up the tanks from a scuba bottle.

  When overhauling the actuators and uplocks we use Corrosion X grease for internal lubrication and as a corrosion inhibitor.

  This seems to work very well.

 Stratyaks, why do you say that? Curious to know what the concern is on putting a non-silicone-based oil into the system is (e.g. what do you think will happen if a mineral oil is used?) I ask because since the system is compressing and using ambient air, it's  likely got all kinds of moisture in it anyway (and whatever else) to begin with... so it's not exactly clean.
