Step by step instructions for lubricating your Glock as stated in the Glock manual.

Small oil cans show Glock lubrication points
Lubricate
your Glock at each of the points as shown
in the illustration. Wipe the outside of barrel, including the barrel
hood and lugs, the inside top of the slide forward of the ejection port
where the barrel hood rubs against the slide and the opening that the
barrel slides through in front of the slide. One drop of oil should be
spread along the length of each side rail cut. Most importantly, a drop
of oil is needed where the rear end of the trigger bar touches the
connector at the right rear corner of the frame. Note - I use
only
Break Free CLP to clean and lubricate my pistol. It saves a lot of
time and does a good job.

Lubricating The Field Stripped Pistol
To properly lubricate your Glock pistol, after it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, use a clean patch that has been slightly dampened with a quality gun oil. Wipe the outside of barrel, including the barrel hood and lugs, the inside top of the slide forward of the ejection port where the barrel hood rubs against the slide and the opening that the barrel slides through in front of the slide. One drop of oil should be spread along the length of each side rail cut. Most importantly, a drop of oil is needed where the rear end of the trigger bar touches the connector at the right rear corner of the frame.
Do Not Over-Lubricate
Do not over-lubricate your Glock pistol, as large quantities of oil or grease will collect un-burnt powder and other residue, which could interfere with proper functioning of your Clock pistol.
GLOCK LUBRICATION WARNING
Do not put oil inside the firing pin channel or magazine. The magazine (inside and out) and breach face should be wiped dry before reassembly. Leaving solvent or lubricant in these areas could cause contamination of primers and failure to fire.
