we have a "lady lamp" the figurine of a grecian style lady sits inside a wire cage but the wire is twine and when the lamp heats the oil up it pumps the oil to the top chamber thro' columns of the lamp and the oil then drizzels down the twine (ropes) so it looks like its raining.
Where would one purchase the right type of oil from? I have tried 3 in 1 but it didnt work

Contact a local lamp or lighting shop, they ought to know what sort of oil would work for you.

I've not heard of lubricating motherboard fans, and an internet check isn't turning up an overwhelming amount of support. But, if blowing it out with compressed air isn't helping with any accumulated dust (something aside from any bearings wearing out) lubrication might help. My only concern would be that the heat build-up would cause a light oil like sewing machine oil to leak. Actually, any of them might. Make sure that you use a very small amount, and maybe run the fan off of the motherboard so that any excess won't drip (i.e. with the case cover off, take the fan off of the mother board and apply one drop to the bearings. Hold the fan away from the motherboard, turn the computer on, and let the fan run while you check [and remove] any excess). Glad that you are getting the troublesome fan removed. Hope this helps; good luck with any suggestions that you get.

you want to use sewing machine oil in an oil lamp?
you need a parifin based oil most likely. see the gardening department at your local DIY store. as there should be oil available.
there was 9yrs ago when i last sold some for a well know uk diy chain. however as i'm not in need of this kind of oil i can't giuve you up to date info.
as for sewing machine oil it's self then you tend to buy that in little under 50ml packs from stores like tesco and other retailers.
it is not advisable to use sewing machine oil for the desired purpose listed above. if i'm reading you wantr toburn the oil that is then my info would be correct. but if the oil is to produce the effect of rain have you considered just using ordinary water?
my opinion.

I know what kind of lamp you mean. Now to sewing machine oil....Singer makes it in little white plastic bottles with red writing. I have some that I bought at Walmart. Good luck. I hope it is the right kind of oil you need.

3 in 1 is sewing machine oil

I think JOHNCONDO has the right idea.
I'd Google search "sewing machine oil" to find the names of other brands since 3-in-1 doesn't work.
Then see what your Google results say for where to buy it.

If there isn't a Joann store near you, order it online.
This brings tears to my eyes. My late mother must have had 20 partially used cans of sewing machine oil in the laundry room cupboard when she passed on to a better place. She was frugal. I wonder why she hoarded it.

I would go to a craft-supply shop to get sewing machine oil, or a fabric store. Hardware stores probably have it, too.

what about one of the oils for garden lights....I use "Citronella Outdoor Torch Oil" Its thin, and keeps flies away when you burn it. But, hold on, have you checked that the pump is primed...have you got an air lock in the pump? Is there an Air Bleed???
