Shredder manufacturers recommend regular lubrication. Fellowes says each time the basket is emptied or 1x/month. If a microcut shredder, after each 15 minutes of use. Fellowes data sheet says this is simply canola oil (easy to get at grocery). The Walmart sourced product, however, is packaged for shredder use and much cheaper than office supply stores.

This oil is very thin (watery). Cut a very small tip off the cap. A little goes a long way! Lubricating the cutting blades seems to have cut down on paper clustering on the underside fillng the shredder basket. I don't spend so much time plucking the tightly bunched up paper shreds from under the shredder. Use caution when lubricationg the blades, because the oil quickly runs through to the other side causing oil to drip everywhere. Also, I found that if I immediately run the shredder in reverse after I oil the cutting blades, that action causes the oil to distribute evenly over them. The lubricated blades seem to shred paper much quicker and easier than when not lubricated. So far, so good. No complaints thus far.

I would recommend this product to friend. I have a high end shredder that needs to be oiled frequently. This item appeals to me because of the size and price. Even if you do not have an expensive shredder the size alone will save you some money. BT...

The Fellowes powershred oil has helped me keep my shredder blades sharp and well lubricated avoiding dull confetti cuts that would allow easy access to personal information. The price,not including shipping charges, well worth the investment obtaining this 12oz bottle. It's easy to use , just cut the spout's tip off and apply as needed.

I searched everywhere for the best price on this product because I did not want to pay a lot for it. Wal-Mart had the best price! Other reviewers suggested putting some of this product in a junk mail envelope and then running that through your shredder for the best results and I agree. This is the best way to use this product and keep your shredder blade in tip-top condition. I purchased this product to extend the life of my new shredder, but found that it restored life to my old shredder too.

I purchased this lubricant to replace light oil and sewing machine oil for my Fellowes shredder. It was delivered within 2 days, although it was projected to take 10 days. I am very satisfied with the results of using this product and will recommend it to others whom I suggested purchasing Fellowes shredders.

I had to return this item. I bought the Royal 10 sheet cross-cut paper shredder and read in a review of this product that someone bought this oil lubricant to use on the shredder blades. So I bought it thinking you needed to use this on the blades to lubricate them. But once I got the shredder and saw no mention in the manual that it needed oiling, I called the service 800 number and asked about that. I was told that you NEVER use oil on this shredder or on the blades. So I returned it.

Have had my shredder for about 10 years now, and bought that at Walmart too. Recently the paper has been getting jammed and causing "aruckus". This helped make everything run smoothly again. I will be now using it at least once a month, b/c I use my shredder so much. Oh, and a little goes a long way.

It was ordered with my new FELLOWES PS-79CI SHREDDER. I was pleased with it's easy application container and it's almost ability to be oderless. A very good product indeed. Good price for a product of longevity. Along with a great shredder I am compleatly satisfied.

Easy to use, doesn't take much so this bottle lasts our household a long long time, it's only 2 of us so we don't have much to shred.. use it once a month squirt small amount across bottom of paper and shred then reverse and run again.... Still on my first bottle...
