First, clean it good. Especially around the bobbin and hook area. Pull the needle plate off and clean under it. Then after it's all clean, oil everything except the gears under the spool pin plate. Grease those. Then using Singer lube only grease the motor.
You can get all the oil and grease you need at Sew-Classic {

I recommend Tri-Flow oil and grease for the machine, and Singer lube (the grease) for the motor.
