Do you need the andis oil or can you use this w/o it?

Seth Flood,I'm fairly certain the Andis oil is a sample size lubricant. This Cool Care product is also in an oil, but the spray is easier for me personally and has less of a chance to drip into the internals.

You CAN use your clipper with or without either the cooling spray or the clipper lube. It's totally your call. When I was stuck without them, I have even been known to use WD40 as an emergency lube, but that's not best. Your blades and blade sharpness will last longer if you use both products as directed. If you use less than both, the clipper blade performance and life will be reduced.

This product is primarily intended to cool a clipper blade that gets warm/hot during use. The other functions are secondary to this. While some light lubrication is a feature of the Cool Care Plus, regular clipper oil is also required to properly lube the blade from time to time, especially after cleaning. I always use both Cool Care Plus and Andis Clipper Oil (for compatibility) if I have them.

It is possible not to use oil because the spray cools the blades whether you use the oil or not, but the oil creates a cushion between the blades, prolonging blade life and potentially keeping them cooler longer.

The cool care is intended for the instant cooling affect on your hot blades during time of use. Also for disinfecting afterward as well as a rust preventative while not in use. *so use while shaving head to cool down blades, then again after each head shaved. You definitely should use the oil before each head shaved as to keep the blades nice and lubed while in use to prevent wear and somewhat keeps the blades sharp (glides from left to right effortlessly). These products helps maintain use of clippers longer and also a sanitary and cleanliness issue. *hope this helps*

You definitely need to oil it well before use! I let the oil sink in on all sides overnight before wiping and use.

Use brush (I use tooth brush) to clean and spray with Andis aerosol cleaner before oiling.

It comes with a conventional oil that is pre measured for the compressor. Although the compressor comes empty, so any type of compressor oil could be used. The better the oil the longer it will live if proper maintenance is followed.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

I'm not sure what kind of oil is in it, but it's a lubrication oil, coolant & disinfectant. You still need Andis clipped oil also.

No it needs pag oil . http://www.amazon.com/Interdynamics-GPM-7-Viscosity-Lubricant-Enhancer/dp/B000COD8GW/ref=sr_1_20?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid= =1-20&keywords=interdynamics+pag+oil The instructions for the pump tells you how much you need. You need to spin the ac pump as you add it so it gets into all areas.

I don't think I would. There is no separate area for any additional oils and I would think the mechanism would get gummed up after a time. Just my opinion...

Yes you can. Although you need to use soapy water (and be careful not to put unit in water), I use Dawn and the cleanup is much easier. It works very fast to heat up also. Just take the cover off before you drain the oil out. One of my better investments.

My husband says yes. However, he adds that you might want to cover your hands with gloves after you use the oil, because they will be greasy.

I think you can use any fluid. The box doesn't say anything about what kind of fluid you can use or can't use. I used it with gear oil.

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

Yes, I use everything from essential oils to regular scented oils. It works great.

Yes you do need to buy engine oil. 5W-30 is recommended. It is easily available in Walmart rather than Lowes or HomeDepot

I have used water instead of the included oil since I got it. Still works great!

Yes you can but not alone. You would add the essential oil to a base oil. I believe there are recipes on line.
