Are these oiling ports for my 1928 generator?

Any special type of oil to use?

Yes those are the oiling ports. Most use 30 weight but since it is getting harder to find. A 10W-30 (or40) is an alternative.

Check the lubrication schedule in the shop manual for how much oil and how often to administer it. I think it is 2 or 3 drops every 500 miles, but the correct info is in the book.
