Does this product come with Shredder Oil in the box? Or do I need to buy separate?

Do not use the Fellowes oil -- my experience with Fellowes is that it gets gummy.

No it does not...I've used ours a lot!!! What I do..... take a sheet of newsprint, fold it to fit the slot. Spray WD40 across the center and shred away!!! I tend to shred a lot at one sitting so I 40 it before every session. RLC

No oil in box, you can just use 3 in 1 oil....no need to buy expensive shredder oil.

Use canola oil, put a small line of it on a normal 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper at the top. Run it thru the machine, then run reverse for 2 or 3 seconds and you are done. Works great!!!

No, it does not; you will need to buy it separately. What I have used, in the past, are the lubricating sheets that you can buy; you just put one in to shred, and it's done.

Some manufacturers allow the use of vegetable oil, but make sure you first read the owner's manual, because using the wrong oil will void warranties. Sewing machine oil is a dust-repelling, lightweight oil that some users recommend. Running a sheet of wax paper through the shredder also works. WD-40 lubricant is not recommended.

To clean the exterior wipe with a dry or damp cloth. Once a month pour the Fellowes performance oil I bought when I ordered the shredder on a sheet of paper and run through once or twice. This keeps the blades operating well. The first time I oiled the blades I poured the oil directley on the blades however I must of poured too much so the machine did not operate. I cleaned off some of the oile and all went well. So the sheet is a better idea.

The machine itself does not need oiled however we use "performance oil" that lubricates the blade area. The oil is available in most office supply places or online. Hope that helps! We have had ours for several years and it is STILL working like a champ!!! We LOVE our shredder!!

I've never added oil to mine and it works fine ( I've had of for a few months ). But since it has mechanical moving parts, I'm assuming that it must need some type of librication. My advice to you is, it's really not necessary but if you chose to do it any way...Then why not.

Yes ... as per the Owner's Manual you should lubricate this shredder. One does this by applying oil to a sheet of paper and feeding into the manual feed slot. There is a video on Swingline's website that shows how this is done

It comes with the shredder and slicer and several blades. I haven't used all of them yet. It works really well. I was making salsa. My first time, it turned out pretty good. I want to learn how to use shredder for making slaw. That is mainly why I bought it. Hope this helps

Speaking of oil, the Fellows shredder oil is just Canola oil so you can save a lot of money and buy that at your local supermarket.

I wouldn't. I'm sure that the Fellowes Shredder brand oil has prolonged the use of my Fellowes Shredder.

My Royal 120X is still brand new, used it only a few times. Works like a charm.I would use a sawing machine oil. The shredder can't be more complicated then the old "used every day" sawing machine!

Special oil for shredders is available wherever they are sold, i.e., Staples, Office Depot ... or online for cheaper ... just put a streak (line) of oil on a page you are about to shred ... you do this every so often depending on your amount of shredding. Do NOT apply it directly to the shredder and do NOT use run of the mill oil ... the type of oil is important

I think you have to order it separately, and I also think there are other oils that can be used - I have a different model/brand (name escapes me at the moment) and the oils came with it.

Oil made for shredders; use manufacturers recommendations. Not frequently in general.

Universal Perfectly Practical - Shredder Lubricant Sheet are 5 7/8 inch by 8 1/2 inch sheets that you run through the shredder to lubricate the blades. I've just begun using this particular brands and have encountered no problems so far. The shredder does work more smoothly after running a sheet through it. As others have noted there are no ingredients listed for the lubricant.

Shredder Oil lubricates the cutter and keeps them from dulling faster and helps them to run smoother, putting less strain on the shredder motor. This extends the life of your shredder. Super easy to use, run a thin line of oil across a sheet of paper once every time you empty the basket and run it through the shredder.

Yes. About every basket load or two run a single page through it that has had oil "squiggled" on it. You don't oil the shredder itself.
