wherein the oil is held within the main body and flows from the main body into the applicator;
wherein the oil is applied to the grates by rubbing the applicator over the grates;
wherein the main body comprises a hollow container for storing the oil that is to be dispensed onto the grates;
wherein responsive to the main body being pressed downward, a valve opens to allow the oil to flow to an applicator pad located on a bottom of the applicator; wherein the main body comprises a cowl located at a bottom of the main body;
wherein the applicator comprises an applicator body and the applicator pad;
wherein the applicator body comprises a coupling wall that encircles a top of the applicator body to form a coupling well;
wherein the coupling wall and the coupling well are circular as seen from above;
wherein the coupling wall is sized to encompass the cowl of the main body when the applicator is mated to the main body such that the cowl of the main body fits into the coupling well;
wherein the coupling well has straight vertical sides such that the cowl slides vertically within the coupling well;
wherein the coupling wall slidably couples the applicator to the main body.
