ALWAYS, ALWAYS use a Sewing machine oil, the one that I have is Singer but you normally get a tube when you get a machine. I have an Elna 7200 and this topic reminded me that I hadn't cleaned out the bottom of mine for a while so I did it just now and this is what I found, I also have 3 very clogged up dirty brushes full of fuzzies as well!
