We recently discarded my wife's old Singer sewing machine. This was a model that had had an electric motor added on some time after it left Singer. Going through the cabinet before discarding, I found a handy oiler.
This oiler is a plastic tube, maybe six inches long, of clear plastic with a yellow plastic screw-on cap. The cap has a long thin brass tube that extends and itself is capped with a brass threaded cap. The long thin tube makes it handy to get into recesses of your gun and place a drop or two of oil into hard to reach places. Oil does free up little parts that tend to get "sticky" with gunk.
As for oil, I have used my blend of a 50/50 mix of automotive oil and Three-In-One machine oil, for nigh unto sixty years. Both for lubrication and preservation.
