Thank you. I don't care about the cost or if it's generic or singer or what, but I wanted someone to tell me exactly what to buy. I don't want to just go for "any sewing machine oil" and/or lube and hope it's the right stuff. I do have a book (I have the "The Featherweight 221 and I" book) so I know it takes both oil and lube but don't want to guess at what kinds and there's no singer dealer here. I will send you a pm.
