“One drop every 8 hours of sewing.” It’s not about using too much oil, it’s about using the right oil in the right place. Machine oils are light mineral oils and don’t yellow over time. Important warning: Don’t use cooking oil or WD-40. Cooking oil oxidizes and becomes sticky like gum. WD-40 isn’t oil; it’s a rust remover and dries out the parts. Only use sewing machine oil or white mineral oil. In short: This little can is the secret to a long machine life. Our grandmothers knew its value. A Singer sewing machine without oiling every 3 months equals worn gears and expensive repairs. Do you have an old Singer sewing machine at home? Do you still oil it this way?
