I really have to disagree with this post. Yes, all machines need oil, but what nobody has explained yet is that
some machines are "self-oiling" and are sealed with the oil already inside, so you can't even get to the parts that need oil. If your manual does not instruct you to oil, or specifically says "do not oil", then
don't. You could be doing more harm than help to your machine.
