Tri-Flo
 

The little Singer Shop inside of our Jo Ann's now sells Tri-Flo instead of Singer oil. It's more expensive (like double). I picked some up over the weekend.

Tri-flo has teflon added, don't know how it would work, sure wouldn't want to mess up my FW, waiting for someone smarter to answer this thread.

I think you will be pleased with the results. I know I am SOLD. Nothing lubes up the REALLY old ones like tri-flow.

I did an interesting test the other night. I lubed a joint with tri-flow and then heated it with my heat gun until it was dry. It became a bit stiff but only for a moment, once I applied enough umph to move it it spun freely again. Not as well as when wet but still smooth. Not exactly scientific, but interesting non the less

Don't put it inside motors but I use Tri-flow and Tri-flow grease exclusively.

Same here.

I do not use regular sewing machine oil at all for lubing machines anymore. I use only Tri-Flow. That includes our Feather Weight.

Tri-Flow oil for the oil places
Tri-Flow grease for the gears
Singer Motor Lube ( grease in the tube ) for Singer motors
Regular sewing machine oil for other motors

I am satisfied that the Teflon in the Tri-Flow poses no chance of damage and actually helps the oil do it's job.

I'm the poster child for Tri-Flow.... not really but I do use it - the other stuff has paraffin in it. Who know what is in 3-in-! oil but it sets up like concrete.

I bought Tri-Flow oil and grease specifically for my Featherweight I recently bought and plan to use it for all my other vintage machines. From what I read on the Featherweight experts sites, it's the ONLY thing to use!!

I have use Tri-flow for years and never had a problem. I started using it on motorcycle chains, then on house & car door lock. Finally got to my sewing room and haven't used anything else since I found it years ago. It doesn't gum up or get hard. It dries and dirt don't stick to it. Really a great produced.

What JoAnn's is it that you found this Tri-Flo? I saw it at the Ace in Sun City (99th & Bell) but didn't need any at the time. The JoAnn's on 83rd (shopping center location) & Bell didn't have it that I saw. I'm back in WA now but just wondering if I need it for my old machine in the condo when I return in the fall.
