The oil you buy at JoAnn's/Walmart called "sewing machine oil" is fine, but a very good oil is "Tri-Flow", sold in bicycle shops. Tri-Flow is used in many sewing machine repair shops.
Your manual should tell you where to oil - it varies from machine to machine, but when I get a new mechanical in with no manual, I just oil where metal moves on metal. Lube, not oil, for metal (not nylon/plastic) gears. Tri-Flow makes a wonderful lube, as well.
Machines can be over, as well as under, oiled. One drop in each spot is enough, done on a regular basis.
If you have a computer onboard your machine, it's all different . . . just look in your manual. The joints still need oil, but there's circuitry in there, so it all gets tricky.
