Dude the white lithium I know is in a can and a spray form. Its way thinner than dow 33. I would be careful before I used it on my impulse!

No, it is not. Please don't use it. It's bad juju man. I tried some of it on my shocker and it swelled the hell out of my o-rings. It is most likely not 100 percent synthetic oil, so it will soak into your o-rings.

If you use it, you will void your warranty. Use Dow 33, it works well. If you really want to find a better lube, try a liquid silicone oil that is 100 percent synthetic.

just wondering is 100% synthetic "paintball gun oil" (bottled by pmi) the same as silicon oil? (seems to be what your saying but i just want to confirm)
