3-IN-ONE Motor Oil, 3 OZ [24-PACK]

I used this product to oil my window fan, unfortunately i used the regular black 3 in 1 in it some years ago as it was really hot and i needed a fan, unfortunately i kind of forgot about it having detergent oil in it and used it for another 4 years, it was too far gone as it was making electrical burning smells after just reoiling the bearings with this proper oil, i dont blame 3 in 1, if anything the wrong product i chose of theirs helped, that fan lasted 4 more years and it was dead 4 years ago. I have other fans like my crofton tower fan and my honeywell turboforce fan i will not hesitate to continue to use this product on!

For the price its Worth it

Its 3 in 1 oil so whats not to like ? Great value

Works as intended

Planning to oil my sewing machine soon. It is perfect and was very reasonable and came fast.

Good as a back up lubricant

One of the things that causes many electric motors to fail is those sleeve bearings that dry out after long use and then require costly repair. Oddly enough, many motors have a wick type arrangement that if kept oiled will wick that oil into the bearing area and help the motor las for many(!) years. As others have noted, detergent oil and WD-40 tend to leave debris in the bearing area and cause wear. This oil doesnt have that trait. Final note: If a beraing runs dry, the rotating shaft will tend to smear the metal of the sleeve bearing and thereby block the channels for the oil to wick through the sintered bearing material. This means the only oil that gets to the bearing will be that which you apply directly (and often !) and not from the wicking material. Look up what is meant by sintering. Tha sleeve material only LOOKS solid!

A reliable light weight oil. Cap is very difficult to remove so only 4 stars.

Perfect size and amount. This seller provided lightning fast shipping & delivery. I use this oil for my electric R/C engines and parts to keep them operating like new.

I refurbish antique fans n stuff and like, put this on it when I want them to actually turn n stuff. And they like… turn once again from the dead. Lol
