    My owner manual does not explain how to oil this machine. Is it pre oiled at factory and does not ever need oiling?

You oil this machine anyplace that it moves and rubs. Needle bar, joints that drive the needle bar,end of each shaft, presser foot bar,hook race etc. Do not use 3 in 1 oil. Use a good quality sewing machine oil.

How do you oil the singer xl.1000
please read the instruction menu for oiling area. a small plastic bottle singer oil can be purchased at joanne fabric shop or any department store carries fabric. if you can't find the menu booklet, a drop of oil should be enough on all moving mechanism. don't over do it. best way is move the pulley where the belt is attached. see the movement for all moving mechanism. then one drop oil should be enough. be sure clean out the dust in general are by using vaccum cleaner before lubricating the macjine. do not oil the belt, otherwise will lose friction and slip when sewning. hope this will help. bob

How do I un-attach the the standard zig-zag presser foot in order to put on the zipper foot? My machine did not come with the click on and off type seen in the manual. I have a model XL 5700. It just may...
I just looked at your manual, and if you look at page 9 you will see the little lever in back of the foot adaptor to release, just push that to release that foot. If, you have any questions on it, take it to your dealer or just go to JoAnn fabrics and have them show you. Even Sears sewing department is great for demos. Unless your machine is not an XL 5700 it does have snap on presser feet. You will see how really easy it is to do once someone shows. Good luck and have fun with it, Happy Easter

It appears to be an older mechanical machine. These older machines do require frequent and regular oiling and cleaning.

This is the method I use on older mechanicals that have seized due to old dry oil. You'll be amazed at how smooth and quiet the machine is after it has had some TLC.

Describe your how to oil singer xl 6000 Problem
Singer doesn't recommend self-oiling on this machine, that is why there are no instructions in the manual. You should take your machine to a trusted repair facility for oiling.
