This isn't necessarily the last word on oiling rotary valves, but what I do is to put a few drops on the shaft stem on the top, a few drops on the shaft where it comes through the bearing on the bottom. I also squirt a bit into the lead pipe. I find rotary valves don't require frequent oiling. I take it to my repairman yearly for a cleaning and checkup, replacing bumpers and adjusting as necessary.

I hope some fellows with more knowledge will post to this question.
