Remove the case and familiarize yourself with the wind up clock. It is recommended to read the user manual to help you clarify the various points through which you can oil your clock.

Fill the narrow applicator provided with the clock kit up to a few millimetres. Carefully pour the oil through the narrow holes in the back of the clock. Squeeze the applicator one hole at a time for a small drop of oil drop. This is usually enough for any clock.

Oil the front of the clock with extreme care. The front holes are much smaller than the back ones. Do not oil the gears during this process; they need to stay dry to maintain an efficient working condition.

Pour oil in the large holes used for winding the clock. Because of their diameter they require double the oil than the smaller holes. Squeeze two drops per hole for a proper oiling. Place the clock back in its case.

One should also remember the cogs and wheels of the clock.  Clock kits often supply a small brush similar to a small toothbrush so that oil can be lightly applied to the cogs.
