I use Singer Sewing Machine GREASE, not oil, that you get in tubes from
Singer dealers. It is a good electric motor grease.

Whatever you use, it won't last long if water can get into your door
because of bad seals. Make sure that the motors are protected against water
and can drain out if they do get wet.
