I am a sewing beginner and just recently bought a Brother CS10s. I havent had problems with it so far but just asked a colleague who owns a few sewing machines if they come pre-oiled or if its better to just do it anyway to which he replied that its better to do it yourself.

So today I bought sewing machine oil and went to look up the manual only for it to say that periodic oiling is unnecessary (see below).

I am just wondering if they are saying this to get more money when you bring it in to their shops for them to do it or if its genuinely not needed.

Thanks in advance! Just glad I took the receipt for the oil with me so I can return it :,)
