OK, first thing....they say sewing machine or three-in-one oil. NO, NO, NO....DO NOT PUT 3 IN 1 OIL ON A SEWING MACHINE...IT WILL GUNK IT UP!! Sorry...didn't mean to scream....I had to make the point....

Cleaning off old 3-in-one oil off is not fun, it takes forever!!!! RESIST THE URGE TO USE IT!(sorry for shouting). Please use new sewing machine oil and you'll have years of trouble free sewing.

Whale oil and 3 in 1 are the hardest oils on sewing machines, and they used to use whale oil exclusively in the sew repair shops.
