Is this oil only for Fellowes shredders?

Not as far as I know. It should work just as well with any brand of shredder.

No. I use it on my Staples cross-shredder, alternately with shredder sheets. Everything has been working well for several years now.

I'm sure you can use it with any shredder to keep the blades lubed and clean.

Has Fellowes label, but I am sure it could be used on any shredder or other mechanical moving parts. It is a light machine oil.

This one did not recommend oil. My old one came from Office Max and did not use oil. I didn't know shredders used oil until I shopped for this unit. Glad I don't have to worry about oil.

No, there is nothing in the directions that state the shredder needs to be lubricated.A bottle of Fellowes Shredder Oil, 12 oz. Bottle with Extension Nozzle (35250) Wouldn't hurt though to apply every once in a while.

Comparing it to other shredders I've owned, it doesn't appear to have a self-lubricating mechanism. Since shredder oil is pretty cheap, I'd probably run a bead of oil every time the basket is emptied.

This does come with a bottle of oil and as others have suggested I'm using vegetable oil to refill it. It makes sense to keep it lubed. Just drip oil zig zag pattern on a full sheet every time after you empty the bin and run it through the shredder. This microcut shredder cuts paper in smaller bits that compact much more that a crosscut shredder so you won't have to empty so often. Just remember to occasionally pull out the bin and shove cuttings towards the back to even out the pile as they accumulate at front. No harm done if you forget because it it automatically shuts off when bin is full or if the motor gets too hot from heavy usage. The automatic feature that starts shredding when switch is on and paper is fed through slot will eventually stop working, but you can manually operate by pushing the forward button. When the automatic feature stops working I just take it apart and blow/vacuum around internal parts making sure I get the dust off the LED light /sensors. Automatic startup is triggered when the light beam is broken by inserting paper.

I used the oil in my Crossman 2100 Classic and was able to restore the oiling ring's function. I can't remember how good it was when it was brand new, but I am very satisfied with how it is working now.

It is a lightweight machine oil that reduces metal to metal foil/cutter friction/wear. It also doesn't irritate the skin. Accordingly, it can be used on any shaver to increase foil longevity if used once or twice a week.

I bought the shredder sheets so I wouldn't have to use oil. However, (and I've said this before) there aren;t many of them in the box which makes them quite expensive. I like to oil the cutting heads each time I empty the collecting basket. The way to do it with oil, is to scribe an "S" or two with the oil on plain paper and run that through the machine. I alternate between the store-bought oiling sheets, and the plain paper with the oiled "S." Seems a good system to me.

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.

It's a good oil to be used for clippers in general. If you want to keep your equipment in good condition oil it before and after use no matter what brand it is

I've had my shredder for a year now and use it fairly consistently. Have only oiled it once just because I thought I should because of frequent use. It was quick and easy. Good advice from other commenter about oiling every bin load or two.

They were saying to oil the blades, if you have a reduces blade friction optimizing shredder perforfmance then oil it. The best thing to use is a Shredder lubricant sheet, that is what I use the oil is in the sheet and all you have to do is shred the sheet

Oil made for shredders; use manufacturers recommendations. Not frequently in general.

No this is is a heavy oil only. I use it on the bolt carrier of my AR. It has no cleaning properties.

Not 100% Neatsfoot oil, other ingredients not listed. I have bottle of Neatsfoot oil and Lexol is not the same. Lexol product absorbs quicker and is less sticky so it is better for seating surfaces whereas Neatsfoot oil is better for boots.

No oil in box, you can just use 3 in 1 oil....no need to buy expensive shredder oil.
