The film
is the lubricant. But this is not the best stuff for bearings. My approach would be, “I can’t use it as it is, so if I eff it up getting this cover off I haven’t lost anything,” and I’d get the cover off. I’ve taken things like this apart a lot, usually break some fasteners and have to get creative about re-attaching the cover, and almost always have parts left over, but I make them function. Ten weight oil like good old 3-In-1 should work fine. You don’t need to worry about “food grade” on the fan bearings. That doesn’t look like the fan in the food cavity, it looks like it’s there to cool the electronics.
