Does this require the 16 oz bottle of Swingline Shredder Oil?

Not based on operation manuals that are included. However it really only does a reasonable job on flat copy/ print paper. Don't try to load docs or envelopes that are uneven or folded, as they just jam up.

Yes ... as per the Owner's Manual you should lubricate this shredder. One does this by applying oil to a sheet of paper and feeding into the manual feed slot. There is a video on Swingline's website that shows how this is done

I bought this shredder in February of 2012. What I read about it at that time is that is requires no oil or maintenance. Just my kind of shredder! It is still going strong. I use it for business.

My last shredder overheated and never worked again. (kind of seized up). I think had I oiled it periodically, this would not have happened. I did purchase oil to use on this one. Just my thought...

I have not had any problems with the shredder, it works great. I have not applied any oil so I cannot answer that question. It has a large basket and holds lots of shredding which is nice.....not having to empty the basket all the time. Good buy as far as I am concerned.

Special oil for shredders is available wherever they are sold, i.e., Staples, Office Depot ... or online for cheaper ... just put a streak (line) of oil on a page you are about to shred ... you do this every so often depending on your amount of shredding. Do NOT apply it directly to the shredder and do NOT use run of the mill oil ... the type of oil is important

If you mean WD40, definitely not (unless you just poured water into your shredder by mistake) - WD40 is a Water Dispersant, not a lubricant. It gets rid of any water extremely well, but then dries in minutes to a sticky residue which attracts dirt and dust, and will gum up your machine. If you mean the motor oil brand, probably not. Fellows oil (per their own data sheet) is just canola oil, so if you're looking to save money just find a suitable container and use regular canola oil from the kitchen rather than motor oil.

No, not that I remember. Chain oil is readily available and is inexpensive.

Yes it will but remember to oil the shredder in order for it to last longer. The oil also helps with keeping the labels from sticking to the teeth. I have had no problems with it.

No, the saw does not come with chain oil; you'll have to fill the oil reservoir yourself. Bar & chain oil can be purchased by the quart or gallon at any retailer that handles chain saws. But be sure to use a product identified as bar & chain oil--don't use regular engine oil or other oils.

Shredder Oil lubricates the cutter and keeps them from dulling faster and helps them to run smoother, putting less strain on the shredder motor. This extends the life of your shredder. Super easy to use, run a thin line of oil across a sheet of paper once every time you empty the basket and run it through the shredder.

This particular one does not. If you are looking for a dropper you probably do not require such a large supply. Maybe take a look at the Edens Gardens offerings also here on Amazon. Great high quality and organic oils.

Yes, mine came with a 16 fluid ounce bottle (same bottle as Amazon #B000I17Z8Q, Lisle 75630 Test Fluid, 16 fl.oz.).

No, you have to supply that when you send in the oil for analysis. It will determine if the oil is still serviceable and if engine wear is within normal limits.

Specially formulated oil designed to lubricate and free paper dust from the cutting head of a paper shredder. it is easy to apply and must be done after each full bin.

Generic oil works fine. As with most chainsaws, store it level to prevent leaking. (I'm not sure it would leak, but better safe than sorry.)

Shredder oil is a lubricant designed to stay on the shredder blades for the amount of shredding to fill the collector basket one time, The shredder oil needs to be re-applied each and every subsequent collector basket filled with shredded material. The bottle that comes with the unit is enough for approx 3 baskets full of shredded material. Keep the little bottle and refill it with a bigger bottle that can be ordered form AMAZON.COM. This will keep the blades from getting overheated and keep them sharp as they cut through the material as needed ie Audio, Data or Video Discs and all of the documents or junk mail that arrives magically at your mail box.. As for applying the oil it is simple, just take the oil spout applicator cap (and cut tip off so if will allow oil to flow) that is on the bottle and turn the tip down into the blade assembly (it is below the slot where you deposit material to be shredded) and gently squeeze the bottle while moving from one end to the other end of cutter assembly and do not worry the oil will deposit on the cutters without any other concern.

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!!
