No oil should be used in the chamber unless you are sure that the gun is having leather seal.
However you may put few drops of 2T oil on spring and guide to give a better lubrication.

Even im told by one gun seller that using 2T oil will make piston move freely and effectively hit the pellet.
Thanks

And you believed that the piston hits the pellet?

You can use Wurth HHK 2000 lubricant for all your lubrication needs for the Air Rifle. I have used it for my 0.22 rifles as well as daisy. It works really well and very safe.

Application is also by a nozzle and it holds onto the spring.!!!

2T oil may not necessarily be designed to prevent rust as it's primary use is for reducing friction ,so it may work well as a lubricant. The viscosity of 2T is ideal at the temperature Bike is designed to work and that is much higher than a gun so the 2T may not be very effective in reducing friction owing to lower operating temperature. Also I am not sure how 2T oil reacts to the elements as it is designed to work in an enclosed environment so evaporation make take place rendering the oil useless. A gun oil would be designed in keeping the work environment in mind hence more suited. Unless you have a whole armory to oil , I'd stick to gun oil.
