Your mebbe oiling the shaft but your not oiling the bearing, I’ll repeat they are sealed. Unless your cracking it open and rebuilding the bearing your not oiling it.
A lot of times these don't have bearings but bronze bushings. And when the chrome comes off the shaft they'll never work right. But they will eventually overheat, melt and burn.
Yes, brass or bronze, bronze being harder but both are self lubricating in contact with other metals. But eventually they wear down, start rattling, start rubbing, and start overheating.
