I have just bought a 2nd-hand motorised extractor from a lady who inherited it from her Father. The bottom of the frame spindle runs in what looks like an elongated bobbin which had some nasty oily liquid in it. I have cleaned this all out in the interested of hygiene but wonder if this "bobbin" which is no more than a plastic tube with "plastic" bearings at both ends needs to be lubricated? If so, with what?
