General oil requirments

Late model including the latest M A SERIES IIIs

Newer models    

  Have only 3 oil pionts:-                                                  Including the very latest model with the 2 part handle.

The rear one on the main column is the most important.

While the 2 oil holes beside the handle, require only an occasional drop of oil.

For early to very early machines (blue in color)

General oil requirments for all series III machines are the same ( only places which require oil have changed in later model machines)

The best oil for our machine is:-   'Engine oil Adative'

There are several brands but it is sticky thick oil which looks more like honey than oil.   " STP "  -- "Wynns" --

If you cannot find these heavy grade gear oil (80 to 140) will work, but is not as good for heavy cutting work on the machine.
Early Model M A Series III clicker (blue prior to Feb 2009)

Very Early machines had 5 oil points, this was later reduced to 4 (second rear column hole (lower one) was deemen un-necessary and beyond requirments)
