If you are having problems with your neumatic (air) cylinders on your silent choice. To lubricate them DONT USE ANY OIL this will make them worse. Use dish soap - PER MERC. TECH.

Try using performance chain lube from a good bicycle shop. It is wax like in substance to stay on the chain and has characteristics of soap but better. It is designed not to pick up debris. It comes in small plastic squeeze bottles and is easy to store in your tool box.
Good luck.

Can you guys elaborate a little more? Are you talking about lubricating the linkage to the divertors, the divertor pivots themselves, or the pistons within the actuators. The latter is what i am suspecting, but I want to make sure.

The pistons within the neumatic cylinders and you DON'T want to use any oil product as it will only make it worse. Just put some dish soap in the little hole on the side of the cylinder and work it back and forth. Was having a problem with them and tried all kinds of lube -nothing worked - just made it worse. Called and they said to use dish soap...
