can you use a regular vegetable oil in the shredder

Not Sure!!! Unless you plan on eating it. I would stay with The product oil Thats Made for it? Common sense is your best Answer.

I have read that canola oil is can be used or other light weight oil like mineral oil. No veg oil.

Some manufacturers allow the use of vegetable oil, but make sure you first read the owner's manual, because using the wrong oil will void warranties. Sewing machine oil is a dust-repelling, lightweight oil that some users recommend. Running a sheet of wax paper through the shredder also works. WD-40 lubricant is not recommended.

No it is not recommended that you use regular cooking oil. Oils heat up and cook differently so it's important to use popcorn oil. I've found it at my food store near all the other popcorn selections...

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

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.

Yes. I just use a 13 gallon plastic bag and pull the top edge of the bag over the top of the container. This doesn't look great as you can see the bag from the front of the shredder, but it works fine with no problems.

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.

Funny..I have owned a Royal shredder for 6 years and never once oiled it. I guess I am screwing up...still works like a champ.

Unfortunately it is jumbled however I've never a shredder that had a separate compartment for plastic or CD clippings. In addition when you oil the shredder, that paper with the oil on it also is all mixed in so if you were thinking in terms of recycling the paper... you could... but only with planning your emptying at certain times which is exactly what I do.

I do not use the shredder . I returned it because I found it very dangerous. you have to be extremely careful with it. the first time I used it the last swipe I cut half my nail off of my little finger. I have heard others ended up at the hospital due to the bleeding. don't buy it ! it should be taken off the market. don't waste your money!

wd40 is also a de-greaser, and can cause carbon metal parts to rust. I wouldn't use it. If you get a light oil they usually come in a container with a small spout and you can just drip some along the "shred line" at the top of the shredder. Make sure you have a bag in the shredder so you don't get the container full of oil.

You should oil it, it will last longer. The manual says cooking oil is OK. Youtube has videos on how to oil shredders.

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

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.

Thank you for asking. However I am away for awhile and can't answer the oil question. I don't recall in the manual anything about oiling. It didn't appear to need cleaning other then removing paper scraps from the cutters. My previous shredder that was 5 years old didn't require any special cleaning or oiling.

At most office stores (Office Max, Office Depot, etc., you cay buy a box of sheets to run through your shredded each time you empty the waste basket. These sheets contain the oil you need, and are musdt easier to use that the bottles of oil.
