There is no substitute for a good quality sewing machine oil. One of the biggest causes of problems with sewing machines is that oil has been used that turns to gum or even a varnish like film with age. Sewing machine oil is a white mineral oil, meaning it is clear and has no smell. The oil has a light viscosity and will not collect on the machine's gears. It is usually marketed as machine or sewing machine oil. Cooking oil, car oil, and 3-in-one oil should not be used as substitutes.
Sewing machine lubricant (oil) is usually between $5 and $10, depending on the brand and the size. A small (under 5 oz.) bottle of sewing machine oil at your local sewing supplies store (such as JoAnn's) costs about $4.
