A better way to get the watch oil out of the container

Submitted by Ellierose on

Hello maybe i am just doing this wrong but there has to be a better way to get the watch oil out of the container???? there has to be someother way instead of playing around with a screwdriver and hoping it comes out and in to the oil cup correctly...Hope for no smears, lost oil, dirt in the oil vial. Has any one had good luck using a automatic oiler...I dont know about the one size fits all on them...and unless your a heroin addict or something i don't really have too many needles lying around...can someone help me...thanks ahead of time....

If a syringe is what you want to use they can be had at any pharmacy (diabetic use) I have used them for years for precision glue use on models and such...

 A syringe is also available from the vet section of most of the agricultural stores, Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc.  No questions asked about usage.  Get a syringe and a pack of 3/4" 20 guage needles.

i didnt know about a tractor store but in my state your not allowed to just buy syringes over the counter you have to have perscription for them...

 Get a narrow straw, like a hollow plastic coffee stirrer, insert into your oil bottle, cover the open end with your finger (creates a suction),  position oiled end over oil cup, and release your finger from the open end.
