only "... fine grade of machine oil; that used for sewing machines is suitable."
Pretty certain the manual is available for download from Vinyl Engine. I would suggest you get it because there are only a few points that are oiled, motor bearing [top], spindle bearing, and idler wheel bearing. It adds that the bottom motor bearing only occasionally is oiled.
All the other joints/elbows/etc. are not oiled.
On mine the main gear beneath the spindle seems dirty. I will clean with alcohol and possibly Deoxit.
