I have a Janome 6500 and my dealer told me the same thing. Just a drop of oil in the wick area of the bobbin once in a while. I agree about the manual. It is rather lacking. I love my machine though.

I did read on the Yahoo Janome forum to do this, also. I think the advice was whenever it looked dry. Mine gets a little noisy when it needs a drop--probably about every 15 hours of sewing, or thereabouts. I have not been impressed with the Janome manual--fwiw. Love the machine, though
