Modern French horn rotary valves require three different grades of oil. From thickest to thinnest they are: bearing oil, linkage oil and rotor oil. Apply the first two each week, if you play regularly. When a valve become sluggish, drip a tiny quantity of rotor oil directly into the rotor casing, having first removed the valve slide to allow access.
