HF 8x12 Lathe - Proper amount of oil
How can you tell if you have given the proper amount of oil to the various oil fill holes ? It is not like greasing where you can watch for a little to squeeze out.
Depending on the location of the holes, if oiling ways, should be able to see a film of oil spread over them. You can always run your finger over the ways too. The tail stock will move along the bed easier when oiled. Only way to know if you over-oiled you will see drips on the chip pan. Takes a little practice.
