    Most service manuals have such information. Did you have a specific machine in mind? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    You'll need to get that from one of the Ricoh guys ... it would probably be helpful to know what model you had in mind. You'll probably find that specific manufacturers have very different answers to that same question.

    Here are some general rules that I follow on most machines (with some specific exceptions):

    MobilGrease28 (clay based thick grease, aircraft specification)
    Spring Clutches (you don't see too many of those any more)
    Spring Torque Limiters
    Plastic-on-plastic or plastic-on-metal friction/squeaks

    TriFlow
    (light oil)
    Oil impregnated bronze bushings
    Bearings
    Metal Shafts (not near developer or toner)
    Torringtons (one-way bearings)

    SW30 Motor Oil
    Scanner Rails (use minimum)

    Conductive Grease
    High Voltage Contacts
    Drum Shafts
    Bias Contacts

    High Temperature Grease (HP500)
    Heat & Pressure Roller bearing/bushing surfaces
    Fuser drive gear (bores only, no need on the teeth)

    Silicon Oil (Fuser Oil is very model specific, so use manufacturers recommendations whenever possible)

    Things that NEVER get lubricated under any circumstances:
    Leather torque limiters
    Magnetic torque limiters
    Electromagnetic Clutches
    Photointerrupters (?!?!?)

    Those are my general rules. I'm sure there will be many more opinions! =^..^=

    just as blackcat said. you need to know a specific brand and model. even same brand different models is gonna require lubrication in different areas. its not a generic all for one.
