Jenniffer, I'm probably late on this, but I have a large fan which we use a lot, and I oil it regularly.
Presumably the blades are mounted to the shaft of the motor. There would be bearings needing oil at both ends of the motor where the shaft enters it and probably where the other end of the shaft resides at the end of the motor opposite the blades. Particularly the shaft where it leaves the motor headed for the blade is often hard to get at without removing the blade. Mine requires a medium allen wrench in a screw at the side of th blade hub, but situations may varry a lot. Try to get a goodly amount of 3 in 1 oil dribbled around these bearings. with the fan positioned so the oil will run down into the bearings, meaning you'll probably have to turn it over to get both ends. Hope that helps and isn't redundant to other replies.
