השמן תחילה לעולם. ואע״פ שקרש אינו יוצא מתורת משקה:
ר׳ שמעון. שזורי אומר אף היין שקרש אינו יוצא מתורת משקה. ואין הלכה כר״ש שזורי:
גוש של זיתים. זיתים הרבה מחוברים יחד. ובגוש טמא איירי:
כביצה מכוון טהור. התנור. דאין אוכל מטמא כלי. ומשקה היוצא מן הגוש מחמת היסק אין לו במה יטמא, דמכיון דיצאת טפה ראשונה חסר ליה מכביצה. אבל כשיש בגוש יותר מכביצה, כשיצאת טפה ראשונה עדיין נשאר בגוש כביצה, ונטמאה הטפה בגוש, וחזרה להיות תחילה, וטמאה הטיפה את התנור, שמשקין מטמאים כלי:
אם היו פרודים. אם היו הזיתים פרודים שאינן גוש:
אפילו הן מאה. כלומר אפילו הן שיעור מאה ביצים אין מצטרפין לכביצה לטמא את שמן היוצא, להיות תחילה:

Mishnayos Taharos Perek 3 Mishnah 3
טהרות פרק ג׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
ובלבד שלא יגע במשקין – as for example, that he pressed them with flat wooden implements that do not become defiled , for now there is nothing here that would defile the liquids other than the husk/pomace of grapes that someone defiled by a corpse had touched , for he was not careful regarding their contact other than when liquid exudes, and when the liquids come in contact with the husks/pomace of grapes there is already missing the measurement of an egg’s bulk. But food does not defile with less than an egg’s bulk.
יותר מכביצה טמא - that since the first drop had exuded, it became defiled with the equivalent of an egg’s bulk, for even though the liquid that is absorbed in the food is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement with it, it completes its measurement. For like it, we find adjacent (in the next Mishnah) regarding an olive’s bulk from a corpse or from a carrion that had been reduced/shrank in the sun and he placed them in the rain and they swelled up, for the rains that are absorbed/swallowed up complete to make up the measurement.
ובלבד שלא יגע במשקין. כגון שדרכן בפשוטי כלי עץ שאינן מיטמאים, דהשתא אין כאן מי שיטמא המשקין אלא הזגין שנגע בהן טמא מת, שהרי לא נזהר מנגיעתן אלא משיצא משקה, וכשהמשקין נוגעים בזגין כבר חסר שיעור כביצה, ואין אוכל מטמא בפחות מכביצה:
יותר מכביצה טמא. שכיון שיצאה טפה ראשונה נטמאת בכביצה, דאע״ג דאין משקה הנבלע באוכל מקבל טומאה עמו, משלים הוא את שיעורו. דדכוותיה אשכחן בסמוך גבי כזית מן המת ומן הנבילה שנתמעטו בחמה והניחן בגשמים ותפחו, דגשמים המובלעים משלימין לכשיעור:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

השמן תחילה לעולם – and even though it congealed it doesn’t depart from the status of liquid.
ר' שמעון שזורי אומר אף היין – [wine] that congealed does not depart from the status of liquid. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon Shezuri.
וגוש של זיתים (lump/clod of olives) – many olives that are attached together. And we are speaking about an impure lump/clod.
בביצה מכוון טהור – the oven [is pure], for food does not defile a vessel. But liquid that comes out from the clod/lump on account of heating, it has nothing for what that it defiles, for since the first drop [of liquid] departed [upon heating], it is missing from an egg’s bulk, but when there is in the clod/lump more than an egg’s bulk, when the first drop exudes there still remained in the clod/lump the equivalent of an egg’s bulk, and when the drop in the clod/lump is defiled, and it returned to being first-degree [of ritual impurity], the drop defiled the oven, for liquids defile a vessel.
אם היו פירודים – if the olives were separate that they are not a lump/clod.
אפילו הן מאה – meaning to say even if they are the measurement of one-hundred eggs, they do not combine to be an egg’s bulk to defile the oil that exudes to become first-degree [of ritual defilement].
