Product Information

Full details

The Wesco Oiler (500Cc) is a durable, heavy-duty lubrication tool designed for mechanics, machinists, and DIY enthusiasts who require precise oil application in demanding work environments. Its standout feature is the deep-drawn metal body, which offers exceptional resistance to impact and wear compared to plastic alternatives. While the rugged construction ensures longevity, the oiler is best suited for light-to-medium viscosity oils, and users should note that the flexible nozzle requires careful cleaning to prevent residue buildup.

FAQs

Can I use this oiler for solvent-based liquids?

This oiler is designed for machine oils; using aggressive solvents may damage the internal seals or the nylon spout.

Is the spout replaceable?

Yes, the flexible nylon spout is designed to be removed or replaced if it becomes damaged or clogged.

What is the maximum oil viscosity recommended?

It is recommended to use standard machine, motor, or sewing machine oils. Extremely viscous gear oils may be difficult to pump through the narrow nozzle.

Does the oiler come with a base stand?

No, it features a stable base design that allows it to stand upright on a flat workbench surface.

How do I clear a clogged spout?

Remove the spout and flush it with a suitable solvent or use a thin, flexible wire to gently dislodge debris.

Troubleshooting

Pump failing to prime or dispense oil

Check the fluid level in the reservoir and ensure the suction tube is fully submerged in the oil.

Oil leaking from the spout connection

Ensure the nozzle is threaded correctly and tightly against the body; check the internal washer for wear.

Erratic or inconsistent oil flow

Remove the nozzle and check for clogs or air bubbles trapped in the pump chamber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely robust metal construction
  • High fluid capacity minimizes refill downtime
  • Flexible spout reaches tight engine components
  • Controlled flow via thumb lever mechanism

Cons

  • Metal body can dent if dropped onto concrete from significant heights
  • Nylon spout is less durable than metal alternatives in extreme heat
  • Not suitable for extremely thick, viscous greases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the oiler for first use, ensure the threaded nozzle connection is securely tightened to prevent leaks. Simply unscrew the pump assembly from the metal reservoir to fill; it is recommended to leave a small air gap at the top to facilitate proper suction. When handling, avoid using harsh chemical solvents on the exterior, as these may degrade the finish. To care for the unit, flush the nozzle with a light cleaning agent if storing for extended periods to prevent old oil from gumming up the internal valve mechanism. Keep the spout free from debris to ensure the internal check-valve remains sealed when not in use.
