"Sewing machine oil"
#5
Sewing machine oil evaporates. That's why machines have to be oiled frequently. If regular oil is used it will not evaporate so lint and dust will build up in the oil. Sewing machine oil is crystal clear. If the oil has a tint of color it is too old to use.

DO NOT use 3-in-1 oil!!!! It contains parafin and will harden and gum up your machine! I remember my mother using 3-in-1 oil and her vintage Singer 401 was full of brown hardened oil with the stitch selector frozen.
Use only sewing machine oil (or I use Tri-Flow oil that has teflon).
