Clipper Oil

[August West]

I ran out of the Wahl proprietary oil. I have a variety of different oils in my 'workshop'. Which type of oil is best to use?

Thanks, Gents.

My Wahl Clipper Oil just says , Wahl Electric Clipper Oil , Wahl Clipper Corp. Sterling , Ill. (something)
then : Danger : Contains Petroleum Distillate (may be harmful if swallowed - call a physician immediately)
I checked 3-in-1 oil : Petroleum Distillate < same thing , I'm pretty sure it's cool .

Sewing machine oil will work,you need a light ,non gumming oil.Some guys use light olive oil to stay away from petro-chemicals....Best thing to do is get some real clipper oil,Andis ,Wahl, Oster all the same ,all excellent.

I use my honing oil with no problem. Best is a fairly thin oil.

Wahl brand at Walmart $2.68, Sallys $3.99; 4 oz. bottle. You could also get a 16 oz bottle of mineral oil at Target for like $2.

I found this when I googled "Wahl clipper oil ingredients":
