Silicone oil is only good for keeping the o-rings and rubbers moist, which happens as you fire the gun. This is why it's recommended to apply it to your gas source.
If you're looking for actual lubrication between metal components, your best bet is Super Lube or any other similar synthetic grease (with NO petroleum distillates!)
I have Super Lube in stock, but it's not cheap to ship a tube to the other side of the country if you're not looking to buy a few other items with it (or multiple tubes). Instead, I would recommend you check locally to see if any hardware shops carry it. It's one of the best general lubes I've found for airsoft use- especially for it's price. I still prefer it over all the expensive high end airsoft lubes I have here.

Why would you waste all your money on green gas?
