I apologize Mel. Should have told you in advance. First time I did it had oil all over the foot and the block under it. Now I only use two capfuls, probably two teaspoons in each leg. As soon as I pour it in the top I start exercising the legs in hope the lubricant is dripping down the screw. Still always have a slight bit of discharge on the foot of the leg.
