【How-to】How to oil a paper shredder

The mechanism is so simple virtually any oil (I wouldn’t use car oil) will work just fine. Dry oil, vegetable oil, shredder oil, 3-in-1, etc. If you use vegetable oil don’t pour straight from the bottle as you will pour too much. … I have the 12 page cross cut and I use olive oil about every 6 months or so.
