I really like these goldenrod oilers but over time at least mine and I heard others say the same, that the bases start to wick a little so when you leave them sit someplace for awhile they leave a ring of lubricant behind-I take my new ones before using them and put a little loctite 290 wicking sealer in the bottom and swirl it around in the seal in the bottom,I have one of these with Kroil in it thats been sitting around for 5or6 years and it leaves no ring-just my 2 cents. Thanks for the great videos-cheers

Ray, I have lost two ball oilers using the wrong tip on an oil can. The G0709 manual specifies a can with a rubber tip to prevent dislodgement of the ball in the oiler. I have not found an oiler with a rubber tip, however. A steel tip is specifically mentioned in the manual as a no-no. I thought plastic would be better than steel and an acceptable substitute for rubber. Wrong.

Push a short piece of 3/16” standard clear vinyl aquarium tubing over the spout of your oil can. Cut it neatly square on the business end and then push it over your ball oilers using a thumb and index finger to seal the connection. Works great, and still works fine for all your other oiling jobs, and the vinyl does not scratch stuff.

My most used cutting oil is Oatey Dark Thread cutting Oil from HomeDepot. One of the best is Lubriplate No. 405 dark cutting Oil, its expensive but very good. I also usr the oilers for Way Lube and Spindle oil for the machines. Hope this helps! Best Regards, Ray
