We've got a Breville convection toaster oven. The fan has started to make some noise. Based on online searches, it seems that parts are NLA (and nearly impossible to change), but most folks report good results from spraying some lube on the shaft at the motor. And it's apparently very difficult to get the cover off of the oven because of the placement of a couple of screws. Most folks only get as far as being able to get the side pulled back by an inch or two, so they have to use a spray that's got a hose (like WD-40). I've seen things mentioned like lubes with teflon and silicone lubes.
I've heard lots of stuff mentioned. I'd just like to use whatever would be best (long lasting, hard to dispense under the circumstances, able to deal with high heat). The lube is outside of the cooking environment, but there's no insulation, so it'll be subject to heat. The back of the motor has a fan blade to keep it cool.
Here's a shot from the one guy that actually completely removed the cover.
This is the usual view
