A few years ago I owned a 13/60. I bought an oil gun commonly used in marine mechanics, from a chandlers shop. Priced around £20. The oil used for this gun is sold in a "toothpaste" style tube. It simply screws onto the gun . It is relatively clean & mess free . In use it forces oil through the nipples. You can refill the empty tube with warmed oil if you choose to. The gun is designed for oil use specifficaly & is smaller than a grease gun. At first use, I renewed the nipples & applied the oil, I left the nipples in situ & had no further clogging problems. Sadly I cannot recall manufacturers name.
