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

Decent price, usually I lose a small can like this before I use it all up. Electric motor oil it fills the bill.

Its the same product it has been since before anyone alive today was born (Yes I know hydrocarbon technology has changed and Im sure the product has been updated) the only deciding factor is the price.

It’s worth mentioning that everyone here is familiar with the Original 3 in 1 multipurpose household oil blend (black and red) and I’ve learned a few things today. I saw a video saying that you can’t use the original blend for bearings because it’s a detergent and it will only last you a few days whereas this blend oil is NOT a detergent. The 4 images that both bottles show what objects to be used for would be pretty much self explanatory. The way I see it now, the original blend is just a penetrant and this oil is sort of a penetrant but it stays for a long time. Hence why it is SAE 20, meaning how thick the oil is and how much temperature it can withstand. Approximately 380 degrees maximum before the oil begins to dry out

I took them apart 3 years ago and used the 3in1 oil in the black bottle. Trouble is that oil becomes a black tar so I had to take them apart and do them again had to wire brush off the black tar . I used 30weight none detergent oil on the Lakewood and this sears compressor oil that does not state what type it is. Both these fans have oil ports and a wicking packing yet it has the old wrong oil. Both fans began the make noise on the front bushing , these are not bronze bushings they are steel. I had to keep removing the front cover and wipe the slight black film off and work the shaft in and out to clean this and re oil until they were clean. I got this oil because the Patton fan kept doing this so I used this oil and its been fine for a month and no noise. If they start this again . I need to remove the old packing because when the bushings get hot the wrong oil gets back in then use this oil on both. Point is I cant use the oil ports because of the wrong oil in the old packing will get back in the bushings. With heat alone it does. I will wait until any noise starts again then replace the packing and use this oil and should be fine. These fans are from 1991 . Took years before either made noise , I have no idea if the wick packing was oiled and the bushings or why wick packing was used for steel bushings, I assume its for holding oil released by heat. Point is dont use anything other than this 3 in 1 20 weight none detergent oil thats what Mcmillen who makes these old motors told me to use 20 weight none detergent motor oil.

Product works and keeps my small appliances going

If you are looking for an oil to oil your fan this is your stuff! I revived a fan who’s motor was binding using this on the bearing. It also worked on a squeaky door hinge since I was in a pinch

Good as a back up lubricant

very convenient bottle and easy to use.

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

End of story, used to oil my HVAC blower motor as most techs just stand their and do nothing but have no problem taking 300 bucks, even though their supposed to take blower apart. Their lazy cause either their new hires or just plain old lazy. This is for the blower motors with no oil ports where you must basically take apart to get to bearing filter elements cause just spraying oil on everything is not the proper way and can shorten motor life expectancy.
