I second Super Lube.
I do, however, use the silicone compounds on the compression train. Silicone grease is a little bit lighter than the synthetic, leads to less of the "suction" effect.
For high speed setups: Oil
For much more longevity: Grease
A quality white lithium grease works great for the drive train as well.
I suggest avoiding nearly all "airsoft" rebranded grease/oils, they're heavily marked up/ repackaged industrial standards.
I use pure silicone oil for o rings (like this). Some silicone sprays can contain ingredients that will, over time, degrade the rubber o rings. That’s almost certainly not your issue because it takes a while to happen. With your Umarex mag, if you use thread tape and oil the o ring and it still leaks, then you likely need a new valve. If this is a new gun, they should replace it for free - sounds like a manufacturing defect. If not, intake valves are inexpensive (here’s a guarder valve for $11).

Yep leave the bottoms in the plate, you just open them from the top and take the internal out.
I use RC car shock oil because I work in a hobby shop, but any lightweight silicone oil from a hardware store will do.
After every 3-4 days of use take off the slide. Clean the gun with a paper towel. With the hammer down put one drop on each side of it. On the back rail surfaces of the slide put 2 drops of oil on each side, put the slide back on. Invert the magazine and put 2-3 drops of oil on the metal puncture spike. Install a 12 gram Co2, load with BBs and shoot a few mags worth of BBs so the oil works it's way into the seals and other moving parts. Clean the inner barrel to remove any oil blow-by. Remove the CO2 from the mag.
If you play every weekend keeping the CO2 in the mag is no big deal, if you are going to store it remove the CO2.
