NO do not put oil in the motor. Use only lube for the motor. Some use only Singer lube and others use Triflow lube.
Try putting a drop of sewing machine oil on the stuck screw and let it set till hubby comes home. You can use a hair dryer to warm it up after it sits for awhile. It might help loosen the screw. Good luck with your new baby.
