lube the oil burner?
 

I've got an old old fired boiler for home heat, made about 20-30 years
ago. It's a Utica. The maintenance page that came with it says to fill
the two oil cups that are on top of the burner motor. I don't see
those.

Thanks.

Some older motors came with small rubber plugs covering the oil holes
for lubricant. I have that type on on a warm air furnace blower motor.
The plugs are not all that obvious, so inspect closely. You may even
find there are only a couple of 1/8" holes on the top of the bearing
housing. HTH

Also very possible the burner motor has been replaced and the new
motor has sealed bearings - no oil cups.
