You don't have to have the wicks, many upholstery class machines don't have them. Just get into the habit of regularly oiling the moving parts.

Perfect. Thanks!

On my old machines they do not have wicks or sumps, I oil them each time before I sew and so long as I do not over oil, I do not have any problems and some are older then me and work better then I do.

All my machines are a older that me - one is even approx. twice as old as me.They will survive quite a while even if they do not get oiled regularly. But regular oiling should be a habit, thats true! The more you use em the more often you should oil them. I usually oil AFTER sewing so the oil has time to penetrate and before sewing I wipe of access oil so it is not sprinkling / dripping from the parts. When I haven´t used a machine for a few weeks or months or... I oil them before sewing too. But thats just me...
