How do you lube your paper shredders? I understand they make pre-lubed sheets but I was wondering if I could get by oiling my own paper or oiling the blades themselves. If so what type of oil do you use?

Not really familiar with shredders, but off the shelf canola will tack up when exposed to oxygen. I use it in my chainsaws as bar oil, but if I'm not using a saw much, or am going to park it for awhile, I use an oil free bio lubricant. My poulanpro lost an oil pump I suspect was due to seizing from oxidized canola. It's a crappy saw with a crappy plastic oil pump, but still...
Apparently something like hydroquinone can inhibit that. You'll need a few thousand dollars worth of equipment to get it going, but over two to three hundred thousand years, you'll come out ahead financially.Not really familiar with shredders, but off the shelf canola will tack up when exposed to oxygen.
