1. Refilling:
- Use only high-quality lighter fluid specifically designed for oil lighters.
- Hold the lighter upside down and remove the insert from the case.
- Fill the cotton wadding inside the insert with lighter fluid, being careful not to overfill.
- Allow the wick to absorb the fluid for a few minutes before reinserting the insert back into the case.

2. Wick Maintenance:
- Clean the wick periodically by gently wiping it with a cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
- Trim the wick to the desired length if it becomes frayed or discolored.
- Replace the wick if it becomes excessively dirty or worn down.

3. Flint Replacement:
- Check the flint periodically for wear and tear.
- To replace the flint in a Zippo lighter, unscrew the flint spring located at the bottom of the insert, remove the old flint, and insert a new one.
- Replace the flint wheel and screw it back into place securely.

4. Flame Height Adjustment:
- Most oil lighters have a flame height adjustment wheel or screw that allows you to control the size of the flame.
- Adjust the flame height to your desired level by turning the wheel or screw in the appropriate direction.

5. Storage:
- Store your oil lighter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- To prevent evaporation of the lighter fluid, make sure the lid is securely closed when not in use.

6. Usage:
- Use your oil lighter regularly to keep the mechanism in good working order.
- If you don't use your lighter often, consider lighting it periodically to prevent the wick from drying out.

By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your Zippo lighter or other oil lighter remains in good condition and provides you with reliable performance whenever you need it. Remember to handle lighter fluid with care and always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific lighter model.
