First drive in the morning. The sound went away as the heater warmed the inside and I drove a few minutes.

Air tool oil is going into a hot/warm use environment inside that tool with compressed air. How will it work to lubricate parts of a car that get very very cold during part of the year?

>> Great idea if there is no downside. I always have plenty of it. Anybody else using air tool oil? Is it different/better than sewing machine oil? I mentioned sewing machine grease earlier, which is different. Sewing machine oil, a very light pure oil used for instruments and of course sewing machines. But tool oil is much cheaper and you can get it anywhere. Hmmmm. Anyone know for sure?
