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

Fan works better now

3 in1 , now comes in plastic container, used to oil a 40 years old sewing machine. Good product.

Didnt realise its a synthetic blend. Works fine. Smells a little like artificial bannana like triflow lube...

Worked great

electric table fan has been gradually slowing. cleaning and regreasing the metallic bearings helped for a little while but resistance to rotation was starting to recur. Re-cleaned the bearings and used the 3-in 1 motor oil. Fan spins freely again but being a thin oil, I expect to have to reapply on an annual basis, depending on duration of use of the fan. Smells like oil, not disagreeable. I use this now over the 3-in-1 general purpose oil since it doesnt polymerize to a sticky film ( at least it hasent yet).

Container is easy to open and easy to use, without making any mess, if youre careful. Can was so fairly slim and easy to work with in the space I had available for repair. Used the oil on an old oscillating fan I have outdoors. Fan motor would hum but no movement at all. If youve ever experienced this issue, you can sometimes spin the fan manually and it will gradually work by itself after that initial force. So for my particular repair, theres pieces of rubber that dry out because I have the fan outside on my patio, in constant hot and humid weather (S. Texas locale). Oil was not available at my closest Walmart and I didnt want to make the drive to Home Depot or Lowes. Shipping on this was slower than they estimated, though it was free. The can came out to just over $9, if I recall correctly. For my uses, that small can will last me a couple years, so its worth the money to get the right product for the job. Very satisfied with purchase

Works awesome, cheap. Will order again.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, it is important to realize that this is NOT the stereotypical 3-IN-ONE oil that has been used for eons around the house. That other oil was designed as a light household oil and it worked good for those applications. See here:

Ran a few drops on my blower motor in my car that had begun to squeak and stick. Fixed it flawlessly. I would definitely buy this thing again except its such a large container I dont know that Ill ever have to.

This oil can easily revive things a lot of people would give up on.
