1 thing you did wrong was to use olive oil it is a bit heaver then vegetable oil ..I used silicon oil for my build ...Good suggestion for you is to take it all apart again wash off the Olive oil . from the plastic parts and rebuild it since you said it worked before you oiled it and if you want to use oil it get some silicon spray you don't need to use a lot of it just I places like the crankshaft to Cylinder block Assembly and a small shot in the cylinder where the pistons fit into . and that should do the trick ....

I've read that some people have used a few drops of olive oil. However, I haven't tried it myself.

I used tablets to sanitize it. If your oil is hot I would say no and even if cold no.

It says it's also got extra virgin olive oil. I have tons of these oils from fushi they're fantastic!

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

My oiler worked perfectly out of the box, but last time I used it, I don't think the oiler was working well. I didn't have much to saw and made a note to try to clean out the holes, etc for the oiler when I had time. I figured it was just clogged...

Because it holds so little amount of oil, I leave the oil in and disguard it after several uses. It is not worth the trouble of draining, straining, and storing it.

If it's blacked out I would return it. Oil does not maintain it's properties when it undergoes heat, light, or continuous variation in temperature. Many oils are old that are old and even racid.

The directions didn't say not to, so I am choosing to use any oil I would like. I am just making sure to clean it often as the directions state. (Every 10 hours of use)

It might be a little of the factory seasoning flaking off in areas where the vegetable oil seasoning was a little too thick. It's not a problem. You can scrub it off if you want, and then put your own seasoning on it. I don't bother, since it's harmless.

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.

Not with fresh oil. My only spatter was when I did fresh Brussel sprouts, probably from some residual water.

It was oiled when I got it and it's still a little greasy after a couple of months. I'm not using it for anything but to retain its carbon steel composition, I would grease it up every few months.

Mine got a little tight, I may have put it away wet and caused some rust. I lubricated it lightly with penetrating oil, worked it in for a while, and now it works as good as new. If you're worried about food safety, you could try the same with mineral oil, but the penetrating oil is thinner and will be easier to get it worked in.
