Default Which oil to lube paper shredder?

Oil give it Foive.

The main problem with shredders seems to be that.
A they get bunged up with paper dust.
B. The oil goes ever so sticky and gunky, probably too much paper dust and
heat!
if you can clean it and be careful some have nylon gears, then use ordinary
oil like you might use on bikes etc, nothing too gloopy.

Wrong.
