I use a 22 Guage plain nickel SIT 6th string and I can't seem to eliminate buzzing when using the bar. Anyone suggest a different Guage or wound string to help eliminate buzz on 6th string? I have already cleaned and oiled the grooved nut roller.

Take your thumbnail and push the string off the center of the finger and see if it still buzzes. Idea

I have tried moving the the string off center as suggested but really didn't notice a difference.

Put a drop of oil on the string on top of the changer finger.

Thanks Bob. Are you referring the top of the "bridge" part of the changer where the string wraps around?

Most likely the Buzz is the wiggle of the roller; makes a buzz sound. I always drop a bead of 3&1 oil, right on top of the string/roller and it runs down each side of Roller and Quiets the BUUUUZZZZZZ. It doesn't stop the wiggle; but stops the noise the wiggle makes.
