Which shredder oil is recommended for this shredder?

The easiest oil to use are the shredder oil sheets. No mess, no fuss. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-SP12A-Shredder-Sharpening-Lubricant/dp/B01H7M7BXM/

What's the warranty on this shredder?

I was told mine had a one year warranty but when mine jammed and I called I was told that I could only get a refund minus an $8 stocking charge. To get a replacement I had to buy a new shredder. I think it depends on who you talk to what you get.

Is this a medium duty cycle for a small office?

It would be great for a small office. Just be careful not to put thicker sheets or folded sheets in too often or it will overheat the system and you have to wait 15 - 20 minutes for it to cool down. Stick to one or 2 sheets at a time. If you have a lot of paperwork, you may want to go up a size because the basket fills up pretty quickly. Overall, it is a good little machine.

Somebody said use a 4 Gallon plastic trash bag to catch cuttings. I wasted my money purchasing some. The Amazon Basics 15-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper, CD Credit Card Office Shredder bin holds way more than a 4 gallon bag. I tried to stretch the bag over the bin and it simply tore. DO NOT TRY A 4 GALLON BAG.
