Had to choose between an automatic oiler and doing it by hand on a big fleet job

Last month I was servicing 14 reefer units for a grocery chain out of Atlanta. I had to pick between setting up an automatic oiler system or just hitting each one by hand with a standard can. I went with the auto oiler because it was supposed to save time, but halfway through the third unit it clogged and started dumping oil everywhere. I ended up having to clean the mess by hand anyway and lost an extra 2 hours. Has anyone else had an auto oiler fail on them mid-job like that?

Honestly, every time I try to automate something simple it just creates a bigger mess to clean up later.

Nah, good automation usually just takes more upfront thinking than people expect.
