What oil do I use for the furthest away slide isn't coming out for me to clean it

[@swallerr692]

Can I use valve oil on my slide? I need help I'm a starter on trumpet.

Hi Hypix Guitar! We recommend using valve oil for the valves and buying specific slide oil for your slides. Slides 1 and 3 generally need a lighter slide oil. Hetman and Bach are great options. For your main tuning slide and slide #2, use a heavy slide oil to keep them from moving on you when you play, but also allowing you to adjust them for tuning. Check out our other three tutorials on our channel on how to oil those slides.
