I like the syringe for oiling, will order it. I have a question about the motor lubricant, isn't that the grease that is used on the featherweight motor? I did not know you can use it in place of oil. Is this what you do? Tell me, I have some, if it works on the machines, I might try it!

That's for the motor only to fill those pots with wicks by the motor. It's a grease, not an oil. You need to use oil in the oil spots - regular sewing machine oil. It's available everywhere sewing stuff is sold.

If you've used it in place of oil on your featherweight, I would contact Nova and ask her what to do now. It may need to be removed. I'm not an expert, so I can't give you an answer to that question, but grease in place of oil is a no-no.

You can buy the oil with a pull out tube at Wallyworld or Joann's.

I use a medical syringe with needle, you can put the oil just where you need it without having it run all over the machine.
