How much valve oil is used for a trumpet per use?

No, but if you're in dire need you could use your spit. It doesn't work as well, but if you don't have any it'll help. DON'T use any other oils or it will corrode the metal. I'm a baritone plyer and I have the same problem right now.


How do you oil the pistons on a trumpet?

First of all, for those who are very new to the trumpet, only use the oil you can buy in a music store. Never try to use a substitute that you just have lying around the house. Things like vegetable oil and motor oil do not go in a trumpet. Find the point at which the moving part of the valve (the part you push down) meets the body of the trumpet. You should be able to unscrew this part. Lift each valve out one at a time so you don't put them back in the wrong place. Squeeze some oil out of the bottle onto the large part (the part that goes inside the trumpet). You can also squeeze some inside the opening in which the valve would go, if necessary. Replace the valve and screw the top back on. When you replace the valve, you need to be sure that it goes in with the same orientation as when you removed it. Many modern trumpets come with a nice feature which will allow you to twist the valve until it clicks into place. Blow air through the trumpet and move the valve up and down to make sure air always moves through the trumpet. If air movement halts, it means you either put a valve in the wrong opening, or the valve was replaced incorrectly.
