would i have to use mineral oil on it ?

Its a metal blade, if you aren't using mineral oil on it occasionally you'd be a fool. Even my flimsy little pocket pen knife gets a mineral oil rub occasionally.

As with any machete I've owned, minimal rust prevention maintenance is required as long as you keep the blade clean and dry.

No. Typically with machetes, mineral oil isn't necessary. It's always a good idea to have some around though just for touchups. Also make sure you have a honing stone. Some Cold Steel products come with burrs but it should be a problem.

I don't see why, it may oxidize on the sharpened edge however mine (I own 6 various cold steel machete products) have all stayed extremely functional. I leave one outside, been outdoors for two years and still doing well

I treated with the mineral oil and began using the following day. I've treated it a fre times over the last year and have used it within a few hours on occasion.

The directions didn't mention anything about substituting mineral oil but because the motorized fans that circulate the water to move the jellyfish are so small I don't think they would be able to handle the oil.

This is a mineral oil based fluid-not synthetic. Ensure the owner's manual specifically asks for mineral transmission fluid.

I'd think any oil would be fine - the electric fan diffuses the scent of the oil (which has been dripped on a cotton pad) without heating it.

Yes you can, but sparingly. The oil is quite thick and heavy so a tiny bit goes a long way.

It doesn't matter. I keep mine in mineral oil. I dry off some of the oil before I wipe it on the plastic board. The RazorBlade is just a piece of rubbery plastic but it works.

No, but you will so it continues to run properly. The directions are clear about this. It's not done often but it will need lubrication.....I don't think it requires HYDRAULIC oil. It will tell you in the directions.......Mike

Good question. From what I find you can mix with any of those oils. Should not be used with baby oil or any other mineral oil

I vaguely remember using some mineral oil to clean my brushes some years ago but I'm not certain what it was (if it even was linseed oil). The product work very well, i have some in a mason jar mix with water (it has a very strong smell) in it. I also have this metal grate-like thingy to help clean it. I'd certainly say it's worth the price though, hope this helps

I believe you can use it without seasoning. However, I did season mine with mineral oil shortly after I bought it. I am going to do it again soon. Very simple to do. I actually keep my on my counter. Love it.

I used eucalyptus with it, you will need to clean it more often if you do use oils.

yes, no question. Just let it burn for some hours after setting it up to burn off the oils used in manufacture. Just be careful. Regard the other posts -

I have no idea. The paperwork with it did not mention oiling and I can not find a spot to do so.

No the surface must be clean and dry and all oils or dirt removed or it will just flake off. Good luck.

I live in Washington State so it doesn't really dry out the wood, I believe that mineral oil could be used on the outside to prevent damage to the wood

Food grade mineral oil will do the trick. There are usually instructions with the board regarding frequency. Had mine now for quite some time and I am still as pleased with it as I was originally. But it does take up some kitchen real estate. :-)
