The presenter emphasizes using the correct type of lubricant specific to your sprayer's manufacturer. For Titan sprayers, use 'Titan Piston Lube'.

He notes that Graco engineers have stated that Titan lubrication can be used in Graco sprayers without damaging packings, but it's not officially recommended. He cautions against using plain mineral oil, as many branded lubricants contain specialized additives.
