A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure. A rotating structure is configured to rotate relative to the engine static structure. The rotating structure has a target area with first and second directions. The first direction is greater than the second direction. A lubrication system includes a nozzle having a non-circular exit aimed at the target area. The exit provides a width and a height. The width is greater than the height. The width is oriented in the first direction.
