Sewing machine oil is a very light oil so it does not hang around very long. if you are a heavy user of the machine it is best to oil it every month or so. if when it is stored for a long period it should be oil then too. there are one or 2 bits that need some light greasing too. some 3-1 oil is good for the job and do all the moving parts lightly and not too much oil as it will mark your clothes. hope this helps.
Consult your owner's manual. Different machines have different cleaning and oiling requirements. Using oil in the wrong spot on an electronic machine could create major damage and repair costs. Use only fresh good quality sewing machine oil recommended by the manufacturer. Apply only 1-2 drops of oil each spot as instructed and follow the instructions for cleaning and oiling frequency.

I would put a drop before each use in case it has gone away.. Use light machine oil that is made for sewing machines since it is not petroleum based, and just put a drop so you do not get it sloping around too much. Also clean it up before putting oil on anything or you will be feeding a mess. The strings, dust, and fabric debris seems to fly everywhere and will stick to the oil if it finds it.. clean off then lube..
Never never use 3 in 1 oil on a sewing machine! Get sewing machine oil from sewing machine store.
