As per the instructions of the nail guns that I own, after every use it is a good idea to place to place a few drops of lubrication oil into the stem of the compressed air connection. This way the oil, with the help of compressed air, will travel through the remainder of the nail gun.
Usually a SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) 20 oil is recommended. Your local hardware store will usually carry a generic air tool lubricant which should be just fine.
Here is one example: http://www.cpocampbellhausfeld.com/accessories/air_accessories/oils/st1270.html
ANS 2 -I use Air Tool Oil and insert 2-3 drops into the air hose receptacle each time I use mine. -Still using a 1972 Senco almost every week.
