Yes, the users manual for all three of my vertical bobbin machines note that you should oil a couple of times a month. I use my PQ1500s every day, so it sometimes gets oiled a little more frequently. I put several drops of oil in each oiling point and also on the bobbin hook, then (without thread in the machine) I run it at high speed for a short time (under a minute) to see if I need to mop up any excess oil.
Some machines with vertical bobbins like to have the bobbin hook oiled more frequently than what I do, but you'd have to check your user's manual to determine how frequently your machine should be oiled. I've never oiled a machine after just a couple of bobbins.
Check your manual to see what kind of oiling schedule they suggest.
