Sometimes one can add oil holes to the ends of motors. Sometimes there's
a space for a felt visible in the end bell stamping. Adding good oil
(such as electric motor oil) to holes drilled into that felt reservoir
can sometimes extend the life of a motor. One or two drops a year is
sufficient. Sometimes one can soak oil into the bushing from the shaft
end, but if the other end has no shaft exposed that bearing enclosure
has to be drilled. Use about a 1/16" drill.
