RE: Hello again, Don't know what the experts use, but for the
rollers I use a triflon compound oil, smells like bananas, because
you need just a little and it lasts a long time. The oil has Teflon
in it and stays on the metal a lot longer than mineral type oil.
Been using this since day one with no after effects......Doug
It has been my experience that pinch rollers should never need oiling. Once I recondition the roller hubs and axles, they should never be oiled. All oil does is attract dirt. Then a vicious cycle of oil-jam-oil-jam-oil, ensues.
