I just had another plastic "can" of 3 in 1 oil explode all over the place

The entire red top came off, not the small cap. This isn't the first time.

Their oil can "looking" plastic containers are utter **** as well. They
leak when you don't want them to, and when you need oil, basically nothing
comes out.

The garbage packaging is why I will no longer but this stuff.

so, who still sells oil in metal cans these days, even it has to be mail
ordered?



For a light oil I use 'genuine' Singer Sewing Machine Oil. I comes in
a metal can and doesn't leave gummy residue. At least the stuff I
bought 15 years ago or so is in this condition.

Go to a sewing store and see what you can find.


For a light oil I use Starrett Tool & Instrument Oil:
