There's an oil hole on the top of the motor? Not mine...
The only chance of oil is removing it to get the shaft vertical and wick something into it down the shaft
Problem with that is, it don't address the lower bearing lubrication issue (you cannot access it at all) and it's the lower bearing that absorbs the thrust weight and torsional load of the motor, not the upper bearing.
Without taking one apart, I would assune both bearings are of the oil impregnated / sintered bronze variety in self aligning mounts (unless Mexicowanderer can elaborate as to the bearing as he had one apart????
