As a complete beginner, I'd welcome some advice on lubrication and protection of my newly-acquired Super 7B, which has powered crossfeed and a gearbox. I've searched for various threads on this, but thought I'd start a new one to be more specific. Sorry if this is very basic, but I like to get things right!

Am I right in thinking I should be applying Nuto H32 to all the nipples and oilers with lids? And VG68 (Febis?) to the slideways on the bed only?

With regard to how to apply these, I have a small capacity Reilang oil can which has a normal pointed nozzle. I could use this for the cup oilers, but obviously it won't work the spring-loaded ball in a nipple, so it may be better filled with the VG68 to dribble oil on the slideways. I have bought a secondhand (metal) Myford Wanner oil gun to use on the nipples – do I need to do anything else? Do folk generally wipe over the shiny parts to stop corrosion when not in use – 3in1, maybe?

Thanks both for the helpful advice.

Dave, do you just hold the tip of the Reilang oiler and press on the ball in the nipples? I haven't tried it, but I'd have thought the spring would just displace the oil out sideways. Do you have a different fitting on the Reilang?

Thanks all – hope the eye is better soon, Dave!
