Oilers...
In the beginning, I didn't know about heating up the ends either. But I did
discover there was wax in the tube to keep it from leaking prematurely.
What I did was used the wire (remove paper or plastic) from a twist tie,
like from garbage bags or bread bags, and poked a hole that goes through the
length of the tube. Sometimes I have to do both ends. I still have that
wire in my toolbox today and use it on every oiler I open.
Just an option for those who don't have or prefer not to use a heat source.

Genie,
Don't feel bad. At training I got the "all oilers come that way - didn't
your sewing machine's oiler come that way" like I was an idiot, but then
the rest of the class agreed with me so I felt a lot better. (Don't get me
wrong, the trainer was good, but not coming from an embroidery background I
felt like I was two steps behind a lot of the time - but it all made sense
after I got home and re-read my notes.)
I'd already taken the lid off and was using the other end to dip a drop of
oil because I couldn't figure it out - LOL! (And, no, neither of my sewing
machines came like that. One was a hand-me-down that's probably older than
I am and maybe I'm buying the wrong machines, but my new one came with a
plastic cap that you stab a pin hole into to open up.)
Oh, and you're supposed to bend the end a bit so you can angle the oiler on
the hard-to-reach locations.
As far as the rotary hook, we were told that part of morning start-up
should be oil the hook and to never, never turn on the Amaya before the OS
was loaded (not Design Shop, the program that sends the stitch file to the
Amaya). So it's computer first, then software, then Amaya.
I don't have my notes in front of me, so don't quote me on this. The
"secret code" (and Rod or anyone else, please correct me if I'm remembering
wrong) I think is for hook timing issues. You take the black table cover
off and there's stuff written on the metal frame to tell you where to set
the needle bar and some other details. You only have to adjust this when
something's gone wrong (and I think you're supposed to have a tech there,
too), so it's not anything to stress about until the time comes.
