Just change new ones. It’s cheap nowadays and not difficult to change.

 

It’s either 4” or 5”.

it was donkey years back from a hardware shop in King Georges Avenue .... I think most big shops sell it and what i like is the oil comes out sparingly and good control ... i think this thing should last a life time and even pass it on to the next Gen; I actually put in engine oil (usually some balance of previous servicing which I did donkey years back and still never changed the reservoir; which I use on my door hinges; aluminum windows hinges; metal gate hinges;  warehouse steel door (sliding type) and still never finish.... [laugh] as you can see in the photo its so oily and dirty .... never rusts too ; WD 40 is just temporary and evaporates and water washes it off and need more regular servicing whereas this one intervals is lesser (I'm talking of outdoor gates in rain/run)

WD40 is actually not a grease, I prefer liquid grease.

 

WD stands for "water displacing" and its main use is as a solvent or rust dissolver. The lubricant-like properties of WD-40 come not from the substance itself, but from dissolving components. And the effect doesn't last. WD-40 can be a good substance to start with — it can help clean up rust or other grime.Mar 9, 2012

Used this in army days to service amoured vehicle.... we call it "oiler". Usually fit up with SAE40 (probably equivalent to 10W-40) mineral lubricant that army supplies in large 20l barrels.

Yah WD40 is some super low viscosity oil with aerosol propellent and some dissolving chemicals.

 

V shiok to spray and watch the grime loosen.

 

But I will usually follow up with singer oil to ensure some more long-lasting lubrication.

Did you manage to buy it finally??

As the website dont have any Singapore shops addresses for the speciality products.... so whats the point??

All go to US or Euro websites only like Walmart, Pep Boys, Home Depot.........

 

 

WD-40 is fine for light use. However some may not know that WD-40 makes a whole line of specialist products including lithium grease: https://www.wd40.com/products/specialist

 

Discovered while looking for grease for my bicycle chains...
