Don't worry; have the machine on a table in a heated room; detect all oil points and apply oil generously. Deliberately over oil a bit and expect excess to dribble down; it's a good idea to keep a few layers of kitchen towels under the base to catch the spill. Take the bobbin case out by lifting the lever up and towards you; apply oil. There several oil points on top of the machine, behind the faceplate and under the base of the machine. Turn the stitch length knob in and out a few times while you add some oil to the threading. Let it seep in over night, and repeat it all the next day. You might have to take the hand wheel off to clean and oil there. Here's a bit of help if you need to take it off.
