How to Oil the Ultrafeed® Sewing Machine

X-HT-300816

Your Ultrafeed machine was thoroughly oiled and lubricated before shipping it to you. However, you need to regularly oil your machine to keep it performing at its best. We recommend oiling your Ultrafeed every eight hours of use. You should also oil it before storing it away or if you don’t plan on using it soon. 

Your Ultrafeed Guidebook comes with detailed oiling instructions and lubrication points. But we’ve also made a helpful oiling and maintenance video you can follow along with if you’re more of a visual learner. Keep scrolling to watch the video on how to oil your Ultrafeed. And keep reading to learn our recommendations for the best oils and lubricants on the market.

Choosing the Best Sewing Machine Oil

We recommend two brands of oil for Ultrafeed machines: Sailrite® Sewing Machine Oil and Super Lube® Multiuse Synthetic Oil With Syncolon® (PTFE). Which one you use at a given time depends on a few things. Here’s what the Sailrite machine experts recommend: 

  • Use Sailrite Sewing Machine Oil for everyday oiling and machine lubrication.
  • Use Super Lube before putting your machine away for long-term storage. Make sure to hit all lubrication points to keep your machine’s internal components well-lubricated while the machine is packed away.
