reason my maximum is two years is because this
dry climate will evaporate the oils inside your
machine. The oil gets old and will actually turn to
a varnish gummy consistency.
The new models of sewing machines are not
designed for the consumer to open and oil
yourself, plus the electronics inside the machine
need to be properly grounded and static shock
eliminated. Just like your vehicle, the owner’s
manual will provide a schedule, or you can just
call the shop to see if your machine is ready for a
maintenance.
