Definitely stick with something like Triflow or the Singer products. Believe me, I'm the queen of "if it works, use it," but having seen what old 3-in-1 oil and gummy black grease look like in old sewing machines, I wouldn't use it. I haven't used Triflow, but that's what I'm going to try when my giant bottle of Singer oil runs out. :) Been working on that bottle for years!
GIANT bottle of oil? I have been curious about finding larger containers of oil. Where, when did you get yours? |

I cleaned up a Kenmore 117.959 today. It's a 1948 straight stitcher. I used Tri-Flo oil on metal parts and Singer lube in the motor grease cups. The grease cups had hard dry gunk in them and it had a loud squeak when it ran. After running a couple minutes, it got smooth and much quieter. I love bringing an old gal back to life! I do use Tri-Flo grease on gears but this particular machine doesn't have any.

Skyangel,
You can also use the Tri-Flow grease on the forks that run on the cam lobes. Slicks 'em up right quick. Joe |
