While travelling along a woodland highway, Woody's car runs out of gas. He intends to get some more by siphoning some from a nearby car, not realizing the car belongs to policeman Wally Walrus who immediately chases the bird. Woody temporarily eludes Wally by disguising himself as a gas station attendant who fills Wally's car to the brim with water! When Woody's disguise is uncovered, the two duel with grease guns.

Well Oiled Audience Reviews

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
TheLittleSongbird Was very fond of Woody Woodpecker and his cartoons as a child. Still get much enjoyment out of them now as a young adult, even if there are more interesting in personality cartoon characters and better overall cartoons.That is in no way knocking Woody, because many of his cartoons are a lot of fun to watch and more and also still like him a lot as a character. Always have gotten much enjoyment out of Woody and Wally Walrus' cartoons and their chemistry together. Of which 'Well Oiled' is one of their best, one that sees Woody and Wally outwit each other with hilarious results, a refreshing rarity of Woody being punished and where one roots for Wally but doesn't see Woody as a jerk.While there are more interesting characters, Woody is an amusing character and never too obnoxious. His interplay with Wally is truly inspired, while Wally is incredibly funny here especially in the latter parts.As ever, the animation is great. The characters are well drawn, but even better are the rich colours, meticulously detailed backgrounds and smooth backgrounds.Music is another strength here. It's characterful, lushly orchestrated and is not only dynamic with the action it even enhances it. The writing is amusing and chuckle-worthy enough and the gags are well-timed and often hilarious, even with a more violent tone.The voice acting is solid.On the whole, one of Woody and Wally's best. 10/10 Bethany Cox
yanmar_world This is one of the last Woody cartoons written by Dynamic Duo Hardaway-Schaffer, and one of the finest. This is the last of the "victims getting the bird at the ending" style, which begun with "Ski For Two" and continued with "Smoked Hams","Coo-coo Bird" and "Solid Ivory". Back to this one, here Woody is driving his car on the road and his gas tank gets empty. In a typically "Woody Woodpecker" way to solve things, he starts stealing gas from a nearby car, only to find out that it's a police car-and worse, Wally is the cop! After some hilarious oil-fighting and being cheated in every way imaginable, finally WW gets him, in a really bizarre and outrageous way. His Woody impersonation at the ending is one of the most remarkable moments in Woody history!This one confirms my thesis: Dick Lundy simply HATED Woody, and loved torturing him sadistically every time he directed one of his pictures. Great, granted fun for everyone!
