They specify an oil that won't damage the seals, IMO , they are trying to get me to buy GAMO oil at a premium. What generic oil can I use that won't damage the rifle.

What kind of oil do you use in an air rifle?
There are a variety of oils that can be used on air rifles. However, it is important to choose an oil that is specifically designed for air rifles. This will ensure that it does not damage your gun in any way. Molybdenum-based lubricants are the most popular

Make sure whatever oil you use doesn't cause the rifle to ''diesel.''
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

Never heard of "diesel" before, what does that entail?

It's when you use a oil that ignites and ''diesels'' when you fire the air rifle.

This is hard to beat and usually reasonably priced. RWS makes a good oil too.

One drop only.

And 500-1000 rounds before the next drop.

Fleshing it out a little...

The pressure in the air gun can get high enough to cause the oil to detonate, just like in a diesel engine. Iit can't be good for the gun's internal components, but I've read about some guys that do it on purpose for more velocity. Like a lot of things it might be ok a couple times, but not really worth the added giggles.
