I do not recommend using this oil as sewing machine oil to lubricate any sewing machine. However it can be used to clean the old solidified oil from the machine parts. When this oil evaporates it will leave a residue that can build up and dirt will stick to it. Unlike a tractor motor it does not get hot enough to burn the residue off parts. I also do not recomend any product with silicon in it for the same reason. As Miriam said I use clock oil which is a synthitic sperm whale oil as the manufactures of this vintage machine recomends. It is a light oil that will evaporate slowly. We oil clocks one a year with this oil and they run all year with no problem. If you do not want to buy clock oil which is not cheap only use sewing machine oil that is of good quality.

Home again! Not much out there today that could come home with me...picked up a buttonholer at Goodwill for $4. Saw a GREAT 319 in a cabinet with the bench, just a bit too spendy for us tho...had a TON of stuff in the drawers and bench tho.
Then..at one antique store, an awesome 1912 Singer 115 with Gold Wing decals in a model 22 drawing room cabinet. They wanted a mere $500, so I didn't even get to say "I want"! LOL Again, the drawers were packed with stuff...I almost cried leaving that one behind...if I couldn't buy it, I just wanted to curl up beside it and spend a night or two....
For the most part, the day was a bust tho....not many machines there, and attachments were non-existent!

This makes me sad.... I saw her on CL this morning and thought.. that which she is coveted for has been ruined. Someone wanted to clean her and didn't know what to use.... she can be had for only $29.00

It is top of my list now...now that I have gotten past the Quilt show. I have to find the wood I want for the top, and I already have some irons for it..Decorah Posten...so this will be a true Frankenstein setup, but as long as I get to sew on her, I don't care of the cabinet is bright purple and the irons bright green! :-)
