I might have a stupid question, but how do you remove the oil wick from the cup?

On motors without oilers I have found that Cooper Tools angle gear grease works extremely well. It is available from most people who sell Dotco air tools, and the part number is 45-0980.

I was wondering how to oil my Vortalex as well as what that cup was behind the blade!
Thanks for the info! I'll make sure the oil gets changed out and the oscillator grease is OK before the summer season.

be sure to use 20w non detergent oil for the bearings. thats what is most widely reccomended. also i like to use white lithium grease in the oscillator.

Thanks for the tip, I was not aware the oil in the cup is recycled and requires annual replacement. I recently restored an early Marelli with external oscillator shaft and the fan runs great!

yes the oil can return to the oil cup and the gunk it brings back with it can plug up your wick just like an oil filter in your car. its not a constant flow of oil as if you have an oil pump in the bearings, but the excess oil used from lubricating the shaft travels back through drainage passageways back into the oil cup. make sure they arent blocked so your bearings get good lubrication. glad i could help.
