You can buy the needle-tip bottles anywhere.  As for the oil, I want 
my lubricant to come from a major chemical company with a 
billion-dollar research budget, not some fly-by-night operation that 
puts oil up in generic bottles with labels printed on a laser 
printer.  If you're lucky, you're getting 1 oz of Mobil 1 (or another 
big-name synthetic oil) for $7, poured out of quart bottles by 
hand.  If not, who knows what kind of concoction some bathtub chemist 
has mixed up?  If you buy Mobil 1 by the quart, it is less than $0.30 
per ounce.

Best regards,

Charles
