CAIG LABORATORIES DeoxITX10S Oiler, Precision Oiler Oil 25 mL - X10S-25C

This is a good quality light oil for instrument mechanisms. The oil seems to retain its characteristics well and does not to gum up. I’ve been using this oil for several years and it has performed well so far.

I have used this once and it's great. It's hard to squeeze, but that's good. It keeps the flow under control. One drop at a time is usually enough for tight spaces. Pin dispenser is very tiny tip. This allows for access to tight areas and keeps the application to precision. Yes, a good product.

Fixed my wife’s car squealing hatch pistons in seconds. Best lubricant for small applications.

DeoxIT is a high quality manufacturer, so for a few bucks more I opted for their oiler. This is standard silicone though, not a fancy hybrid of chemicals (like some of their other products). Since it's DeoxIT, you can expect high quality silicone, which is why I bought this one specifically.I use this for fine instrument mechanisms, specifically some expensive dial calipers, O-rings for fuselages on outdoor equipment and the like.If you are reading this review and looking at various oils, keep in mind what it is you want the oil for. Petroleum-based lubricants (WD40, BreakFree CLP, etc) will lubricate quickly and efficiently, but can break down composite materials. Teflon-based lubricants (DuPont, etc) are great for dry/film properties, reduce metal friction, but don't lubricate as well. Silicone (this) will not harm materials, has a lower lubricity, but will persist longer than any of the above. This is a great oil for clock mechanisms, swiss actions, and preserving polypropylene (and similar) composites from cracking.

This is clean, high quality, silicone oil in a convenient, leak-free needle tipped squeeze bottle. Since bore in the needle tip is narrow, the bottle must be squeezed pretty firmly to dispense the oil. This means the oil won't drip out on it's own, which helps accurate placement.

I dunno about this stuff. I bought it to lube a fidgit spinner that should soon for four minutes now it won't spin. Single minute. Sure maybe it's good lube but not for a precision ball bearing spinner.

This works great for my RC aircraft. The needle works great for precision work. The only complaint I would have is it is very hard to squeeze out the product. But if it was easy it would likely be too easy to overdo it. So I still give it 5 stars.

Used in my grandfather clock. It completely eliminated the gear meshing noise when chiming. Spout nice and long to get into the gear train. Opening is small enough to prevent oil from gushing out when squeezed. This makes oiling a clock a piece of cake.
