    I've been using this:
    http://www.amazon.com/5427-Silicone-Shock-Oil-Weight/dp/B0006N6S66/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1308592853&sr=1-1
    to lube all my guns and to mix with propane.
    Is that okay? Or should I be using silicon oil made specifically for airsoft.

    If you are not using 100% silicone oil then you are not using the right oil.

    I'm pretty sure it's 100%.
    I don't know if I can use this as a cheap alternative, because there are different weights and such.
    So can I use this instead of airsoft-specific silicon oil?

    Yes that silicone you linked is 100% silicone. I have 25 wt. to lube my piston/tappet plate rails so Its safe for any o-rings.
