Hetman's sells three grades of valve oil specifically for pistons. If the valves on your 20J are a bit loose like there were on mine, then the Hetman Classic Piston oil is the way to go. It's designed for a looser fit. They also make a standard grade for most instruments with tight valves, and a light grade for instruments like Yamahas that are, if anything, too tight.

I use the regular Hetman's Piston oil for my Holton, and started doing so when Lee first applied it a year ago.
