If you love it and it is expensive have it serviced as often as the dealer recommended. They will oil if necessary when they service it.
If you are not under warranty and you want to service it yourself you might send lostn51 or Charlee a pm and get their tips and tricks on it.
Let us know what you think and decide.

DO NOT OIL THAT MACHINE. The computerized machines do not need oiling which is why a small bottle of oil does not come with the machine--you could ruin the insides. NOT all sewing machines need to be oiled.
If you still need confirmation of this, google Brother Sewing Machines and contact them via email or look up a brother dealer you can talk to.

My machine doesnt need oiling, its a closed unit.
But when I clean out teh bobbin race on both my machines, I do use a quick spray of silicone before i put the bobbin race back in. Stops those little squeeks.

it took me a while to figure this one out on my own. Couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work so I quit using it all together. Then one day I tried it and it worked. That's when I realized I had to have the presser foot down for it to work properly. Didn't say this in the manual. Wish I'd of known from the onset. Live and learn.

I have a Bernina 430. I put one drop of oil in the bobbin well evrytime I start a new project. I take it to be serviced once a year this includes a tech oiling, cleaning, and calibrating my embroidery unit.

Not all machine have to be oiled ever... One of my machines is 20 years old and never oiled... I'd be carefull, might mess something up oiling it. BUT if does require oil needs to be done... check first.
