Fellowes Shredder Oil for Micro Cut and Cross Cut Paper Shredders, 355ml - Shredder Oil Lubricant

Bought this for my Fellowes Shredder. Was not disappointed. Very effective and a decent price as well. Item arrived on time and in mint condition. Thanks!

The size is just right for ease of use, storeage and handling. Gentle squeeze seems to do the job when it comes to use on our small household shredder. The blades certainly worked smother and the runtime extended before the motor needed to cool. It looks like a quality thin machine oil, so I have to accept that. Given this is in effect a disposable oil, the residue being wicked away as the paper is shredding, durability seems a moot point. The same applies to ease of emptying. As to the shredder getting hot, that is again a moot point but I can say that it took longer for it to get hot.

My fellowes shredder was struggling to get through 10 pages without overheating. I checked online advice and quickly realised that shredder oil was a requirement that I had never appreciated. This arrived quickly, is a good size for the price and was easy to apply. The shredder has been performing much better since we started yo use the pil.

You just don’t really realise how much you need a reliable, hungry workhorse shredder with all the identity fraud and people stealing your information having a shredder just sat next to the letterbox is fantastic, junk mail, anything that’s not worth keeping or opening is automatically shredded, but then I realised surely these needs maintenance like a hair cutting clipper blade? So I purchased 2 bottles and they are big bottles, I use a small amount after each bin empty on my shredded, take out my cuttings, place BBQ lighter fluid over it spark a cigarette and throw it into the bin and put lid on after each bin empty, ZERO chance of anyone getting my personal information, do i recommend this oil? Absolutely I spent £200 on my shredder in the sales and I hope it lasts a long time, time will tell, but I have noticed with the oil I’ve seen less struggle with feeding thick 18/20 sheets into my shredder in one fail swoop, less heat from inside the bin however it’s always been a great cool shredder so I can’t comment if the oil helps with that, but maintaining the blades are a must and your warranty may not cover you if you fail to maintain it with lubricants, takes 2 seconds leave the bottle in the sideboard or in it and put always do it after each bin empty

Great product. My shredder was jamming up so ordered this oil, ran it through the machine and it's running perfectly again.

This does last and have used on shreddder

My Script shredder was dying: it had served me well for the last 15 years or more of home use, but it was clearly performing less well recently. I had never oiled it, because I had assumed that putting oil in the shredder mechanism would tend to bind the paper dust & shreddings together, eventually jamming up the works. I concluded that my Script shredder was simply worn out & that I needed to buy a new paper shredder for disposing of confidential documents. The instructions for my replacement shredder, a Fellows Powershred 12C (4 x 40mm high-security DIN P-4 crosscut) paper shredder, state that “All shredders require oil for peak performance. If not oiled, a machine may experience diminished sheet capacity, intrusive noise when shredding & undue stress on the gears.” The instructions go on to recommend oiling my new Fellows shredder each time I empty the waste bin, with Fellows shredder oil or lubricant sheets… That being the case, my Script shredder had survived exceptionally well! It had, though, become slower & noisier, & it will now shred only 3 or 4 sheets at a time, instead of its specified capacity of 8 sheets of paper at a time - but it still works, so I am giving it away to someone who has no shredder. Before doing so, I have oiled it, though I have not noticed immediate miraculous improvement in its performance. In any case, my new Fellows shedder can chew through 12 sheets of paper simultaneously, can shred continuously for 20 mins (the Script only 5) before 30 mins cool- down period & is quicker & quieter, with a wastepaper drawer which slides out, instead of having to lift of the shredder mechanism off the top of the waste bin, dropping a few bits of shred paper on the floor from the bottom of the shredder blades. I can’t yet verify how well the oiled shredder will perform or last in the long term, but the new shredder, with new blades freshly oiled, is shredding well. for my first supply of shredder oil, I got this 355ml bottle of Fellows shredder oil, because that was the type of oil recommended, & because Amazon had an offer on of this oil … considerably cheaper than I could find it elsewhere at present. I don’t know yet how quickly 355ml of oil will be used up, so only as this bottle of oil nears its end will I determine what oil to get next. One advantage of relatively small bottles of shredder oil like this is that they generally come with a spout suitable for applying the oil directly to the shredder blades, whereas larger quantities of shredder oil, while they might be cheaper per 100ml, are generally supplied without a spout, meaning that oil from them has to be decanted into a spouted container before application to the blades. When more experienced in the use of the shredder oil, I will decide what to get next. Have a look for yourself on the web as to whether specific shredder oil is really required. Some people suggest that any vegetable oil can be used; others that oil designed especially for paper shredders should be used. What is generally agreed upon is that aerosol cans of oil should bestrictly avoided, because there is a risk of explosion if flammable propellant gets a spark from the electric motor, or excessive heat from the shredder mechanism. Use of mineral oil is also frowned upon. I assume that my new Fellows shredder was probably oiled before I received it, but I have nevertheless given it a quick dose of oil on receipt of this 355ml plastic bottle of ‘Fellowes Shredder Oil for Micro Cut and Cross Cut Paper Shredders’

I’ve bought this previously and it far outweighs any other I’ve tried in the past. My machine is running really smoothly just needs oiling from time to time. So, considering my machine is a little older it still performs great.

Product came opened and spilled all over box :( This is. Great product t for the shredders You can get it less expensive on Amazon! For $5.00

Original Fellows shredder oil. Useful for maintaining the efficiency of shredders. This helps lubricate the moving parts. However, it may not remove any residue of gum or glue, which often comes with paper that is being shredded. I'm not sure whether there's a solution for that, or if the shredder should be opened up and cleaned with a suitable material. As far as this product is concerned, it is a lubricant that has been time-tested to perform its intended function. A bit expensive in India as it's imported, and thus 1 star less.

A light oil that does the job well.

Habe dieses Öl zum Aktenvernichter gekauft. Funktioniert super

Achetée pour utiliser avec ma broyeuse de papier. Satisfait, fonctionne correctement. Par contre, attention à bien essuyer à la fin pour ne pas mettre de l'huile partout !
