sorry if it sounds patronising, but what do you mean by 'oil'

theres never any need to oil a freewheel, if any form of thin oil gets into the freewheel it'll strip the internal grease.

lazychubs:
every one ive had as been grease free
so use 3in 1 oil or air tool oil

I cant imagine what kind of freewheels come without grease?

Go for ACS, Shimano or if your feeling rich, a white industries.

Stay away from dicta and unbranded stuff.

Ive found old beaten up rust survivors 20+ years old.

The shimano freewheel has always still worked perfectly.

lazychubs:
yeah john is sending me a shimano one
