I see, P12 is the offset pipe oiler, so it's his newest design.

I did notice the inner diameter of the pipe that goes through the lubricator is rather small. Should I bore that out or is it critical to the device due to Venturi effect?

I prefer this oil:MiniSteam › acatalog › Shell-Valvat...

Shell Valvata J Oil 460 - Steam Cylinder Oil - MiniSteam
. The oil smells and works good.
I'd like to buy Shell Valvata J Oil 460 in larger quantities...

The forest classics steam oil smells so bad. It's that horrible vomit smell that rear end gear oil has.
