FELLOWES Shredder Oil, 355ml – Smooth Performance and Durability
Capacity: 355 ml
Purpose: Shredder blade maintenance
Every office device requires maintenance, and a paper shredder is no exception. If you notice your device running louder, slower, or jamming more often, it likely needs lubrication. FELLOWES oil is a professional solution designed to maintain the peak efficiency of your shredding equipment.
Technical Summary (Specifications)

- Capacity: 355 ml (lasts for a long period).
- Compatibility: Suitable for all types of paper shredders (both Fellowes and other brands).
- Packaging: Convenient bottle with a precision nozzle.
1. Blade Protection and Longevity
Regularly used oil performs a critical function – it prevents paper dust and small debris from accumulating between the cutting blades. This not only ensures a clean cut but also:
- Reduces friction: Blades move more easily, reducing the load on the motor.
- Prevents corrosion: The special formula protects metal parts.
- Extends service life: A properly maintained shredder will last several times longer than an unlubricated one.
2. Performance Enhancement and Noise Reduction
Dry blades cause higher resistance, which leads to overheating and increased noise. After applying FELLOWES lubricant, you will notice the shredder operates more quietly and paper sheets are pulled through more smoothly. This is especially relevant for high-capacity office shredders used intensively.
3. Easy and Clean Application
You don't need to disassemble the device or get your hands dirty. Experts recommend a simple method:
- Apply a small amount of oil onto a sheet of paper (in a zigzag pattern).
- Shred the sheet of paper.
- Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure even distribution across all blades.
Verdict
FELLOWES shredder oil is an essential accessory for any office. It is a small investment that protects expensive equipment from premature wear and ensures confidential information destruction remains trouble-free.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I oil my shredder?
It is recommended to oil the blades every time you empty the waste basket, or at least twice a month if used less frequently.
Can I use regular cooking oil or machine oil?
Absolutely not recommended. Cooking oil can spoil and gum up the blades, while machine oil can damage plastic parts or pose a fire hazard. Always use specialized shredder oil.
