No. While some residual oil may remain from factory testing, most headstocks are drained of oil before shipping. This is done to prevent leaks during transit, as the factory-fill oil is thinner and could spill if the machine is tipped.

For details on the recommended oil and fill capacity, please refer to your machine’s Owner’s Manual.
