It isn't a 'long term' replacement for sewing machine oil, but the aerosol is what I usually use to free up vintage machines, or sticky bits. It works very well for me, yet once the machine is free, or the bits are moving as they should, I will always follow up with the standard drop or two of SMO. The Triflow "superior lubricant" in the aerosol can and I have brought machines back that I never would have imagined sewing again - and rather quickly. Some might suggest that a slow and patient coarse of one drop at a time sewing machine oil over many weeks or months would do the same thing, and it may. I've never been that patient to give it a go when the Triflow will do it overnight.
*note that SMO is being used an abbreviation for the proper noun phrase: 'sewing machine oil' and was capitalized in accordance to proper grammar and acceptable netiquette guidelines.
