LOL, I'd be too!
It would be hard for me also to know when I arrive to the count: 15 min here, 20 min here...
When I feel the sewing machine is not performing smootly, I oil. Seems a good system.
It`s also true for non-vintage sewing machine. I have a modern Artista 730; last week the machine was rattling so badly that I was sure something was broke. I had oiled it not so long ago, but it couldn't hurt to try, so I put a bit of oil in the race. When I turned it on again, it was quiet as usual.
