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.

What did they use the trumpet for in 1814?
Prior to 1824 trumpets were natural, keyed or used crooks to change pitch. After 1824 Jean-Hilaire Asté added pistons to a trumpet to make the first valved trumpet known as a Cornopean (Trumpet with pistons). The Cornet developed rapidly towards the end of the 19th century and the modern Cornet was designed by Antoine Courtois in 1855.
What are trumpet pistons?
A trumpet piston (commonly referred to as a valve) is the part that goes up and down within the valve. See the related links for a picture.
Can you use mineral oil on your trumpet valves?
It's not recommended. Mineral oil is a bit too thick to be used on trumpet valves.
What happens to a trumpet when you oil it to much?
I play the Horn, which uses completely different valves. However, I did play learn trumpet and I played it for a while a few years ago, so I think I can help you with this. I don't think putting too much oil in your trumpet is going to completely destroy it. I don't recommend knowingly overdoing it, but just put in what you need to fix the problem. If you put in too much, it'll just drip out the bottom of the pistons anyway. As far as I'm aware, any other issues with valves aren't affected by the overuse of oil. Hope this helps! =)
Why wont air go through my trumpet?
Chances are good that when you oiled your valves, you didn't align the pistons properly. When you reinsert the piston into the valve, twist it clockwise (by twisting the button) until it "clicks" into place. That should align the valve properly, and you should be able to play your trumpet again. Another possibility is that you put the pistons in the wrong valves. The pistons and valves are each marked with a number (1,2,3). Piston 1 goes in Valve 1, and so on.

What does it mean when oil is in the pistons of a 2003 Volvo S40 1.9L turbo?
It may not mean anything at all. Motor oil is used to lubricate and cool the pistons. If there's a lot on the side of the pistons, then it's possible that you need to replace the piston rings.
98 Dodge Neon won't start and plugs had oil on them?
I am not a professional mechanic but i think that you might have blown rings on the pistons that have oil on the spark plugs. what is probably happening is the rings are bad so, you are not getting good if any compression in the cylinders and the oil on the plugs is probably from a bad oil control ring also on the pistons and the oil is getting past the pistons onto the plugs.
