Good day! I’m curious if someone could help point me to some directions on how best to oil an “oil-less” motor. I have oiled an older general  electric box fan - I’m thinking the process might be the same.but I’m not entirely sure if it is or not.
 

Pictures attached of the fans.

I believe that little white notch above the rotor shaft is the oil hole on the White Lakewood motor.

Thanks, Anthony! What is your thought on getting it into the Westinghouse motor without the oiler ports? 
I was thinking about doing it the same way you oil a GE box fan, but it would appear that rear cover plate is thicker than what you would find on a GE.

what is the white bump/notch at the 9 oclock position in the picture of the westinghouse motor?  Is that an oil port?  Can you take a picture from on top of the notch?

THE MCMILLAN MOTORS HAVE THE LITTLE OIL SPOUT ON EACH END CAP ABOVE THE SHAFT . YOU USUALLY HAVE TO OPEN THAT UP A LITTLE SOMETIMES THE SPOUT IS TIGHT OR HAS PAINT OVER IT AND YOUR OILING DRIPS DOWN THE OUTSIDE

THE WESTINGHOUSE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN APART AND THE OIL RESEVOIR GETS REFILLED FROM THE INSIDE. ONCE APART YOU CAN SEE THE WICKING IN THE HOUSING 

GOOD LUCK WITH THEM !

Thanks Tom, Anthony. Both motors are now oiled and running well.
