It sounds as your machine runs all fine by now, but as mentioned it can take a few rounds before all the gunk and grime comes out of the inners of joints, gears, and hinges. When everything is flushed out it will run another notch smoother. With a bit more oil and sewing the next few days I'm sure you will wipe off clean oil by the end of the week :- ) You mostly notice if the machine stand for a while, this gunk is what makes an oiled machine sluggish and sticky again if left alone for a few days.

Does your machine have the red oil felt near the bobbin race? On my model 99 which is about the same, the felt bit is missing. It should be held in place by a tiny spring. I need to find a way to fit a new one.
