If you want to oil a new glove you should go to a sporting goods store and buy some glove oil or conditioner then you apply it the way it instructs then you can shape the glove after you do this it will help clean and restore the glove to feel like new but still broken in.
Oiling a Baseball glove, especially a new one, helps to break it in. Gloves are made of high grade leather which can be stiff when new and unused. They need time to be broken in and oiling the glove will help with this process. Also, older gloves lose oil and get harder as time goes by. Oiling will lubricate the leather fibers of the glove which should lead to a longer life. There are oils specifically made for gloves that you can use or you might try lanolin. It is not necessary to use a lot ... just enough to cover the surface.
You can either buy glove conditioner or use something like shaving creme. Lather the glove with the oil and then place a softball in the pocket of the glove and use a rubber band to hold the ball in place. Then you can do pretty much anything to work in the glove like sticking it under the leg of a sofa or use the glove as a base during sliding practice.

What kind of oil do you put on a baseball glove?
You could pick up baseball glove oil at your local sporting goods store. There is also a product called lanolin that works well. Lanolin (hydrous) is an ointment that is sold to treat dry skin and can be purchased at your local pharmacy or Walgreens. Some professional Major League ballplayers use lanolin to work their gloves in as well. Lanolin will keep the glove supple, and its waterproofing properties will keep the glove from drying out.
How do you bake a baseball glove?
First, oil or spray your glove down good. Then, place in the oven at 325 to 350 for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on stiffness of leather. Pull it out of the oven and rub off excess oil. As soon as you feel you can place your hand inside the heated glove do so. (I recommend a batting glove of some sorts for this part.) Once your hand is in work it a couple of times then place a baseball or softball in the pocket and close the glove as if you were making a catch and tie the the glove in this position. Then, let the glove sit for 4 or 5 hours. Untie the glove and work it for 30 minutes. Repeat as necessary.

How do you loosen a hard baseball gloove?
Well, I don't play baseball but instead I play softball but basically it's the same principle. You can buy glove oil at any wal-mart in the sporting goods for a fairly cheap price. Some glove oils require heat and others just rubbing in the oil very well. Ive also heard, but never tried, that if you put your glovee in the oven on low heat with a ball inside of it with a string tighly wrapped around your glove it's much faster than glove oil. Various ways that I would never try are things such as running your glove over with a car several times and just abusing it for about a week. But the bast way I have found is some good old-fashioned glove oil and catching a lot of hard-thrown balls.
