Does this one need oil?

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

No, this just snaps in place under the hood, quick swap with the one that's already there.

No, and it needs tons of oil in it to be able to work. I was never able to use it.

I did not check, I put oil as soon as it arrived; but I don't think there was oil, otherwise the package would have been spoiled.

The machine itself does not need oiled however we use "performance oil" that lubricates the blade area. The oil is available in most office supply places or online. Hope that helps! We have had ours for several years and it is STILL working like a champ!!! We LOVE our shredder!!

You definitely need to oil it well before use! I let the oil sink in on all sides overnight before wiping and use.

No, its uses a special type of oil/water thing. I suggest you return them and buy new ones.

So do I. I do not know. Tool still starts well and works good so I just work around the excess oil. Better a tad too much than not enough.

I don't recognize the reference to "oil can", and, as far as I can tell, it doesn't need oil. Any O ring has to stay flexible to function fully, and so that may need some level of grease, but I think that if it's used regularly it's unlikely to need attention in normal lifetime.

No, but you will so it continues to run properly. The directions are clear about this. It's not done often but it will need lubrication.....I don't think it requires HYDRAULIC oil. It will tell you in the directions.......Mike

Yes pretty much so. Well sort of. It comes with instructions. Take it outside, that's a must because it smokes a lot. Turn it on high I think it was for 1/2 let it cool down and that's it. But, read the instruction over what I just said. I can't quite remember, but I'm pretty sure no oil was needed. They just want you to burn off whatever they put on the porcelain.

Yes it has auto oiling. But you may have to adjust carbureter to keep it idling

Nope. These are actually easier to manipulate than the old style. They don't need oil, but I put a little white grease on them anyway. They're very well designed.

I've never added oil to mine and it works fine ( I've had of for a few months ). But since it has mechanical moving parts, I'm assuming that it must need some type of librication. My advice to you is, it's really not necessary but if you chose to do it any way...Then why not.

NO! It needs no oil at all, just put the ,ixture into both sides, cook according to directions. Makes nice fluffy omelets and they slide right out, and you just have to take a damp paper towel and wipe it clean!!

No you don't as you have just purchased it. When it's time to clean it after it's first use then you oil it. The oil is bought separately. I recommend that you purchase the maintenance kit and this will have oil included, as for now you don't have to oil it at first installation.

Piece of cake. Just get some extra bits, and keep the oil filled on the unit.

Purchased unit 10/2011 and mine did not come with oil. so all you need is oil and gas. Battery included and mine came with acid as a kit you assemble.
