I read somewhere that ZOOM (by Dritz was one of the better oils for today's machines. Actually, there is very little to oil on today's machines--plastic parts will degrade from oiling, and makers say not to oil at all. (but I sneak a few drops on the metal parts.) Anyway, I got my oil at Hancock's--I think I've seen it at Walmart. Very clear in a plastic bottle with long flexible spout that slides into the bottle.
