Timer is Item 11 in Section 3. Click on it's picture for more views.
I do not think this unit can be oiled.

Thank you for your help, I understand that most of these are sealed, but I will take care and be sparing with the oil. I figure if I can't oil it I will need to replace it soon anyway, so it is worth a try!! I really appreciate your warning also. Al

Timer is noisey, I know it needs a drop of oil in the timer motor,
but I can't figure out how to remove the knob to gain access.
There must be a clip, or trick to removal without breaking it.
