I abuse my shredder. The shredder has lasted a looooooong time. I keep it lubricated with the shredder oil. No worries!

It's the only shredder oil I'll use. Our vendor recommended it (30 years ago?). I've been using it ever since.

the oil was leaking out of the bottom of the bottle on arrival and continued to leak. I was reimbursed and did not need to return ..

Using Fellowes brand oil will help prolong the life of any shredder. I must admit though, I did have an Aurora shredder that finally died a couple months ago after almost 8 years of extreme shredding and not once had I ever applied oil to it. Guess I was lucky...VERY lucky! Since purchasing a Fellowes MS-450Ci, (micro-shredder), its oiled every time a full basket is emptied. I fold an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper in half, inserting it about a half inch into the opening. Hold apart, a little bit, the two ends of the paper and quickly apply the oil beginning at the top and moving across as it will run down into the crease. Quickly insert the rest of the way into the shredder. A small amount of oil will run out of the sides, but that's good...it will lubricate the very ends of the cutters. When shredding is complete, I run in reverse and forward respectively, for approx. 15 seconds each mode. Works for me. NOTE: I apply oil beginning at the top of the folded paper letting it run down to make sure all the cutters have a chance of being lubricated. The cutter is cylindrical in shape and revolves. If oil is only applied to the bottom of crease, only a small number of the cutters will be lubricated in one revolution.

One side of my shredder would not rotate, I used quite a bit of this oil and now it is like new. I plan to use it on a regular basis now that I know it is necessary. Even if your unit works fine now, you should use some type of oil to prevent the same problem I had. It is a little expensive, but it works!

If you have a shredder, you have to invest in shredder oil. I am sure BRAND in this case does not matter. Shredder can be expensive, Shredder Oil is not. Does what is suppose to at a great price. Got this with free shipping, showed up two days later.

my shredder started to make noises and after reading manual found that it may just need lubricating, i checked the local shredder dealers and found most wanted $30.00 a bottle..yeh right! Having found and bought other items from Wal-Mart I used their search engine and found just what i was looking for,right size, right price, and can't beat .97 shipping.Problem solved, Thanks Wal-Mart...

Would be nice if walmart SOLD this With the Shredders in the shredder isle! I have been to THREE walmarts in my area..... And I can ONLY find this item ONLINE! The pile of items I need to shred is growing and I will be trying the nearest office supply store to see if THEY have this item on the shelf. I found NO directions or diagrams on how to oil my shredder, but it did state that it needed to be oiled. So,being the net surfer that I am, I did find a page with not only instructions, but with a sketch on: How to Oil Your Paper Shredder you can go to ( of course the 3 w's first) then: factory-express dot com/blog/2005/09/how- to-oil-paper-shredder.html Walmart should print out that page and put it in a holder for customers to take that buy or have purchased a shredder, so they know how to do it. AND put the oil you need next to the information, would be nice too! I ran the black and decker shredder BD-10P(that I bought at walmart) one day for almost 6 hours, then it started to sound louder. That was 2 weeks ago. So I stopped using it until I could get some oil for it. I put that shredder through its paces.... Very good shredder for the price! With the price of gas going up I don't want to keep driving around for oil for it. I also dont want to wait for weeks before it gets shipped to me. Something you will need every few weeks for maintainence for it so the shredder wont "blow up"on you - you'd THINK they would Keep on the shelf at the local Walmart.... That's why I gave the scores I did.... I havent "Found" the product to be able to use it, which is fustrating. But the only cheapest place I found "Online" is walmart. I would just like this item to be available on the shelves at the local walmart so I won't harm the 89.99 B&D shredder I bought from walmart. I'm dissapointed with walmart. I expected better. :(

This oil is necessary to prolong the life of my Fellowes shredder according to the manufacturer. They are very proud of this oil! They charge an arm and a leg for it! Walmart sold the same oil for a much better price. It arrived quickly and shipping was either free or cheap, I forget.

I am giving the Fellowes ‘Powershred’ Performance Shredder Oil 5 stars because it does a great job keeping my shredder working. WHAT DOES NOT GET ANY STARS IS THE SHIPPING! I paid $5.99 on June 9th, for 'Next Day Delivery'—the oil arrived June 13th! That's 4-days, Wal-Mart! I am curious to see if I will be given a refund for the $5.99 'Next Day Delivery' charge.
