Where is everyone getting oil for their machines? I'm having a hard time finding No.7 oil that my Juki is calling for. There may be a substitute out there for No.7 I just don't want to "mix" different oil types. I can find Juki No.1 oil all day long but No.7 seems to be a bit scarce.

I’ve always just used what is called white oil. Works well in both the juki I once owned and now my consew. Most upholstery supply places will have it.

Appreciate the info everyone. We are fixing to start in on a complete custom interior on a 84 model 359 Peterbilt. Have to make sure everything is ready to go and we were getting short on oil.

I spray underside of my machine with motokote aerosol from time to time seems to run smoother and quieter afterwards.

For all older machines I just use generic sewing machine oil found at most supply stores. If I have a brand new machine I try to use the manufacture specified oil if available.
