Watch the oil - I've looked at the schedule in the manual - but the Juki isn't going for 8 hours a day. I've tried once a week, and bi weekly to the equivalent of the time specified in the manual. In some places like under the bobbin case and the takeup lever, the oil has dripped. I plan on taking it to a repair shop I know and having the excess oil cleaned out. Maybe when it's apart, they can figure out which part should get more oil more often. It's noticeable now since I'm playing with black cotton which seems to be linty.
If not, I'll have to use the rule I had for my sports car - it made a different sound when down half a quart of oil.
The same happened with the Brother 1500. I finally found oilers that would only drip one drop, but oil still dripped under the bobbin.
