Genuine BERNINA Oil for Routine Machine Care
Keep the correct maintenance oil close at hand with BERNINA Sewing Machine Oil – 10mL . This genuine BERNINA maintenance oil contains Mobil Velocite 6 and is supplied in a compact bottle with a fine dispensing tip for controlled application to the small lubrication points identified in your machine’s manual.
Designed for compatible BERNINA sewing, quilting and embroidery-capable machines, the resin-free and acid-free oil helps maintain smooth movement at the hook and other manufacturer-specified oiling points. A small amount goes a long way, making the 10mL bottle a practical replacement or spare for your sewing room.

- Suitable for routine maintenance: Use after removing lint and thread fragments, following the instructions for your exact machine.
Compatibility Guidance

Compatibility depends on the machine’s hook system and maintenance requirements—not simply the BERNINA name. Before use, check the oiling section of your machine manual for the required oil, application points and quantity.
- BERNINA 4 Series: For compatible models whose manuals specify this oil.
- BERNINA 5 Series: For compatible sewing and embroidery-capable models using the relevant BERNINA hook system.
- BERNINA 7 Series: For compatible sewing, quilting and embroidery-capable models as directed by the model manual.

- Embroidery use: Compatibility relates to the base machine and hook system; the oil is not applied to an embroidery module unless expressly directed by its manual.
Please do not assume this bottle is suitable for every BERNINA, bernette, overlocker, coverstitch or vintage machine. Older machines, rotary-hook models and overlockers may require a different oil. If you cannot confirm the correct product in your manual, contact Two Petals with your full model number before ordering.

How to Oil Your BERNINA Machine
Oiling locations and quantities vary between models. Always follow the care and maintenance section of your machine manual or its built-in maintenance tutorial where available.
- Switch the machine off and disconnect it from power before working near the needle or hook.
- Remove the bobbin case, hook or stitch plate only as instructed for your model.
- Use the supplied machine-cleaning brush or a soft cloth to remove lint and loose thread from the hook area.
- Apply the number of drops specified in the manual, placing the oil only on the illustrated hook race, oil depot or other designated point.
- Avoid coating nearby surfaces or adding extra oil “just in case”. Too much oil can transfer to thread and fabric.
- Reassemble the machine in the order shown in the manual.
- Sew or embroider on a scrap piece of fabric before returning to your project, particularly after oiling the hook.
Do not place oil into electronic areas, onto belts or on parts that are not identified as lubrication points. Oil should be used alongside regular lint removal—not as a substitute for cleaning.
When Should a BERNINA Be Oiled?
The correct interval depends on the model, stitch count and how intensively the machine is used. Follow an on-screen maintenance prompt when your machine provides one, and consult the manual before an extended sewing or embroidery session. A machine used frequently may require attention more often than one used occasionally.
If your machine remains noisy, stiff or inconsistent after correct cleaning and oiling, stop sewing and arrange an inspection rather than adding more oil. Two Petals offers sewing machine repair and servicing in Melbourne’s south-east for routine maintenance and fault diagnosis.

Buying Summary
This 10mL bottle is a useful choice for owners of compatible BERNINA 4, 5 and 7, 8, 9 and Q Series machines who need a replacement or spare supply of the manufacturer-specified Mobil Velocite 6 oil. Its fine tip is suited to the small oiling points found around compatible hook systems, while the compact bottle is easy to keep with your regular machine-care supplies.
If you own a vintage BERNINA, an overlocker, a coverstitch machine, a bernette model or a machine with a different hook system, confirm the required oil before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this genuine BERNINA sewing machine oil?
Yes. This is a BERNINA-branded maintenance product identified by manufacturer item number 033567.53.01 and supplied with 10mL of Mobil Velocite 6 oil.
Which BERNINA machines can use this oil?
Two Petals lists it for compatible BERNINA 4, 5 and 7, 8, 9 and Q Series sewing and embroidery-capable machines. Because oil requirements depend on the exact hook system, check your model’s manual before use.
Can I use it in every BERNINA sewing machine?
No. Different generations and hook systems can require oils of different consistencies. Do not assume that an older, vintage or rotary-hook BERNINA uses this product solely because it is a BERNINA machine.
Can it be used in a BERNINA embroidery machine?
It can be used in compatible embroidery-capable base machines when their manuals specify this oil. Follow the machine’s hook-maintenance instructions. Do not oil the embroidery module unless its documentation expressly tells you to do so.
Is this oil suitable for BERNINA overlockers or coverstitch machines?
Do not use it in an overlocker or coverstitch machine unless that model’s manual specifically identifies Mobil Velocite 6 or this BERNINA product. Overlockers may require a different maintenance oil.
How much oil should I apply?
Use only the amount stated in your machine manual. Many BERNINA instructions call for individual drops at clearly marked points, but the number and location are model-specific. Applying more oil than instructed can mark fabric or thread.
How often should I oil my machine?
Oiling frequency varies with the model and number of stitches sewn. Follow the machine’s maintenance prompt where available and the schedule in its manual. Clean and inspect the hook area before adding more oil.
Can I substitute household oil or a general-purpose lubricant?
It is best not to substitute another lubricant unless your machine manual or an authorised technician confirms it is suitable. Household oils and multipurpose sprays may have a different viscosity or formulation from the oil specified for the hook.
Should I clean the machine before oiling?
Yes. Remove lint and thread fragments from the accessible hook and feed-dog areas as directed by the manual. Oil applied over accumulated lint does not replace proper cleaning.
What should I do immediately after oiling?
Reassemble the machine carefully and sew or embroider on a scrap of fabric. This helps distribute the oil and prevents any excess from reaching your main project.
Does regular oiling replace professional servicing?
No. Cleaning and oiling are routine owner-maintenance tasks. A professional service can address internal lint, adjustment, timing, wear, electrical issues and other areas that should not be accessed during normal home maintenance.
