I use a plain medical glass syringe with a fine blunt tip needle for that. I've also found that orthodontic wire cutters work very well as flush cutters (and almost as inexpensive as the regular electronics kind). For a light oil, I dig into my supply of brass instrument valve oil. All types are available, from regular petroleum-base to some pretty exotic synthetics. Go to, say, Amazon and search for "Trumpet valve oil". --Chuck
