Which trimmer oil should I buy?
Most brands sell their own oil. Often they will promote it as the best oil for hair clippers, and in some cases they will claim that the warranty will be void if you use an oil from another brand. But in practice, they cannot verify this. Basically, you can use oil for hair clippers from different brands.

How to use clipper oil?

- Turn the clippers on, the vibrations will distribute the oil over all the blades.
- Remove oil around the blades.
How often should clippers be oiled?
If you use clippers daily, which would be the case at a hairdresser’s, you need to oil the blades daily. If you use clippers on a weekly basis then it is sufficient to oil the blades once a month.
