No, you should not use sewing machine oil in your shredder. Shredders require specific lubricants designed for their mechanisms, as sewing machine oil may not provide the right consistency or properties. Instead, use shredder oil or lubricant sheets specifically made for shredders to help reduce jams and maintain performance. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance and lubrication.
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.
