Does the Juki Hzl 27Z need regular oiling?

Yes, the shuttle race of the bobbin case does require oiling. Please see the section regarding machine care in the manual on the Juki website. Here is their website address: http://www.jukihome.com/downloads/manuals/HZL27Z_InstructionManual(GBESRU).pdf

Yes. If anything it is an improvement. Though for the price you would be better served looking at another oil as $14 a quart is absurd. Any synthetic SAE 5w-30 motor oil will do the job admirably and the going rate is $5-8 a quart. I'm a mobil 1 guy but even royal purple (supposedly the top of the line) is going for $7.86.

I spray WD40 on the shaft at the end of my daily use. I have never needed to add oil to the hydraulic reservoir.

I have nothing to add to these excellent comments except that you would be amazed at how much work I have done with my Neiko Jack Hammer and I have never changed the oil. I just check the site glass. Unless you are going to have a crew running this hammer ever week it would be years if ever before you would need to change the oil. The manual says to change it more often but it does not get dirty like motor oil and there is nothing to really cause it to break down.

If using synthetic two stroke oil that is appropriate. I would recommend regular oil for break in at a 32:1 ratio for break in( about a half gallon of gas burned) to make sure the rings seat properly. Mine is a real gem and am very happy with its performance.

It requires oil. I would also not recommend this product because the nail clip gets jammed in the magazine not the head section. I just ordered a Bostich.

The wood is retreated, so it is ready to use. No indication that it needs to ever be oiled. We also live in MN, and my wife LOVES hers. It is exactly like the one Paula uses on her TV show.

The bottle of oil with mine was almost empty when it arrived with only a little amount of oil left. It was mostly clear light weight oil, so I used stainless sewing machine oil as a replacement, since it's able to function at high speed and temperature. Have used my jackhammer repeated and up to 6 hours in one day (would not recommend doing that to your body) the neiko worked flawlessly. Hope this helps

Yes, That's what I have. It has very hard finish, but I softened it with mink oil. Looks better and functions better.

very rarely. i use mine for about an hour of run time every month and oil it only if i notice the blades heating up more than usual.

I oiled mine right from the box and take it slow. I've not had any problems, but it could also depend on the type of hair you have.

Nope. These are actually easier to manipulate than the old style. They don't need oil, but I put a little white grease on them anyway. They're very well designed.

No need for oiling. I would NOT use The Ringer on enamel. I did and now have an enameled dutch oven with scratches and a chip.

There is a slight machine oil oder the first few times used, it goes away. I use it everyday and it replaced same model that was over 20 yrs old that I damaged.

I have been using mine for a few weeks now, and no, I didn't oil it at all. It's working great!
