New trumpet 1510 C. Have used oils Al Cass and Zaja Pro but 3rd still sticks since day one. Any suggestions?

Liad,
My father likes his valve tolerances tight. It takes some time to break them in properly as everyone strikes the valves different. You also need to use the proper oil for valves this tight. Al Cass is the worst oil you can use as it is basically denatured kerosene and so has very little oil in it. I am not familiar with Zaja oil. I personally recommend only one oil and that's
PRO OIL HYBRID FORMULA 141-A7. Monette also recommends this oil for their instruments. If you can't find it at a local dealer I sell it. With meticulous cleaning during break in and the proper oil you will find the valves to seat beautifully. High tolerance valves need the right type of oil to do the job. Hope you are continuing to enjoy your horn. I was greatful for the opportunity to serve your musical needs.
To the music.
