Baldor Super-E motor

I came across these motors on a commercial job in Berkeley at a YMCA; never seen them before. They bolt onto a Taco volute.

One of them is making a squealing sound and I think all it needs is some oil and there are three small holes on top of the motor, but I can't find any spec's on what kind of oil to use. I suppose a B & G style oil would work, but I just want to make sure.

Is anyone familiar with these motors?

    A non detergent oil will work fine.
