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

I have a couple of those small, black honeywell air circulator fans, and the oil/lubricant that they use in those when assembling them in the factory is absolute rubbish. After a year of constant use the fans were so gummed up that they didnt spin freely. I know we are in an age where everything is disposable, but I really would love to not have to spend $80 on fans every year. So I bought this, and, and put it in all the fans. It works well, incredibly well. The fans spin better than new, in my opinion. From now on all fans I buy will be getting a shot of this

I have always used the 3 in 1 original multi purpose oil. Then I found this and this works perfect to slightly oil the sleeve bushings in these cheap made small table fans. Makes the fans very quiet now, will see how long it lasts, the multi purpose just lasts 1 year, having to take them apart to oil once a year. This will work great in my RC world on my trucks or crawlers when I need something more than a dry lube.

Its oil....

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!

As far as I can tell this oil is fine. Much better value than the B&G oil and should be just as good.

I got this oil to oil the impellers on my Chugger pumps for homebrewing. This product was recommended on The Electric Brewery by Kal. It works great and is very inexpensive. It has a nice cap that snaps on so oil does not spill out. I also used this for my Harbor Freight nailer. Must have for in the tool box.

3 in one oil has been out since my grandfather was a kid. It works for a ton of stuff around the house, garage, car, ect. Everyone should have a bottle around!

This is a handy bottle to have by the crosscut shredder to keep it lubricated to handle thicknesses of paper, as well as credit cards and CD/DVDs of data to be destroyed. Read you shredder instructions for its maintenance advice. For us, this fits the bill and wasnt too expensive. You may find it more cheaply in a local hardware store. Check there first.

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

It did stop the squeak, but I dont know about its longevity. I learned that a special oil is needed for electrical items, so the regular 3 in 1 oil was inappropriate.
