Abstract: The disclosed combination includes an oil container, an applicator assembly, and a removable cap. The applicator assembly includes a tube through the top of the container, a drain receptacle surrounding the tube above the container, and a porous applicator tip on the drain receptacle and over the end of the tube. Oil flows through the tube, to and from the applicator tip. One applicator tip includes ridges with a channel or groove between them. Another has a periphery with convex and concave portions. These tip configurations facilitate oiling of various surfaces. The device is effective to provide oil to the tip for application of a film of oil on a desired surface, and to drain excess oil from the tip back into the container.
