Zoom Spout is good stuff, but just make sure you have the right kind, as "Zoom Spout" is a trademark applied to several different types of oil. The most common general-purpose type is about 10W equivalent. The "stainless", "white", or "lily white" Zoom Spout is much thinner though, only about a 5W equivalent, and is made for sewing machines and sergers/overlockers. Likewise, tons of people use the standard (10W) Zoom Spout for oiling electric motors. But historically, electric motor oil was typically thicker, and many old books and manuals will call for 20W oil in this application. (I'm not aware of any Zoom-Spout type oilers in this viscosity.) All three have their uses, so it's good to have some of each on hand! |

3-In-One has a 20 weight nondetergent/nonparaffin electric motor oil that works well. I use this when assembling the tub bearing on Maytags as well as other areas that require a thicker oil.
