Default Hope it's ok to ask here ..... getting a Singer 6412 up & running

I have the Singer 6412 model (that I haven't used in quite a few years) set up for my daughter to learn on.

Thought I'd better give it a little clean.
Surprisingly there was virtually NO dust in the bobbin case.
I'd kept the machine in a case.

While the machine is sewing a beautiful stitch,
and purring along beautifully, the engine itself does sound a little loud to me
(maybe it always was),
so I am a bit leery about using it anymore without giving it a good check-out.

I hate to pay the rate of a service call, because who knows if the machine is even good anymore.
I did find a can of Singer oil that I bought some time ago.
But NOWHERE in the book does it say or show to oil the machine,
so now I wonder if this is one of the machines that does NOT get oil.

Anyone have this machine?
Can you offer me any advice?
Thanks!
