Just plain vegetable oil will do nicely. Put a few drops on a piece of paper and shred it----if you can.

I believe the instructions that came with the shredder called for vegetable oil to be poured across the teeth.

I use hydralic oil.....oil leaking is very normal for this product.....to fill...open the sight glass...tilt slightly away from you...fill to the bottom edge...replace sight glass and the oil level should be right

30 wt motor oil is recommended. The unit leaks like crazy but I just keep a pile of rags in the carrying case. Keep snugging all of the bolts as well.....the vibration keeps working them loose and adding to the leakage. For the price...this thing has taken a severe amount of abuse and just keeps running.....and leaking...love it.

It is actually oil, and they should have come with the oil in them. I ended up , upgrading to a different style, because I tried those twice and they were defective both times. Hope this helps.

I found oil in a squeeze bottle with a long flexible spout at Ace Hardware that worked great. No mess. Make sure you get the right grade oil for the fan. Info on oil grade is in the instruction papers that came with the fan or on line.

We do not recommend using any oil that is not designed as a lubricant. The best type that will not damage any novelties is anything water based. Thank you for shopping with us! ~Giggles World

As far as my experience, I have used several different oils...lavender, lemon, Thieves, etc. with great results.

Several factors, what type of oil your using? how many miles on vehicle and the interval of oil changes?

I had the same issue with it, so I just add the oil to the water as well. It's worked great for me so far.

I have a small bottle of lubricating oil that I use for my hand gun. Use very little, works like a charm. A lot cheaper than olive oil!

Use an oil made for machine or ball bearing movement like 3-in-1 oil (comes in small container). Olive oil is not good for this purpose, as it will break down over time.

I have used water instead of the included oil since I got it. Still works great!

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

I had to return it for the sane reason. Check the oil level though. Aomeone told me that may be the reason.

I have used Jojoba oil, almond oil, and olive oil. Olive oil has a stronger smell though, so I would use another .

I broke my generator in on straight 30 weight detergent oil for 10 hours. Then I put in 10W30 AMS Oil synthetic small engine oil. I am sure any good quality 10W30 oil would do. See page 13 of your owner's manual.

I found mine misted properly for shorter & shorter durations over time. I also had something growing in the oil after a while. I hope you have better luck.
