What oil do you use to lubricate a fan?
Use 10- 15- or 20-weight non-detergent motor oil to lubricate your fan. It’s important to avoid detergent, which can gum up the bearings. Don’t rely on penetrating oils, such as 3-in-1 oil.
Can you lubricate a car blower motor?
Use a light oil. Do not use WD-40 unless you are trying to flush out gunk in the bearings, then follow with a small amount of oil. WD-40 acts like a solvent, not a lubricant after it is applied. Never “lubricate” with WD-40.
How do you lubricate a window air conditioner fan motor?
Insert a drop or two of light (SAE 10) oil along the motor shaft where it meets the motor housing and the fan. Rotate the fan by hand to work the oil into the motor. Reassemble and reinstall the unit.
Can I use WD40 on fan motor?
[Never put WD-40 in] any electric motor, even if the rotor is stuck from filthy dried-up lubricant! It not only removes any remaining lube, but it can melt coil wires (the lightly-coated copper wires twisted up in electric motors) and cause an electrical short.
Can you spray WD40 on blower?
If you reach in with your hand you can turn the heater blower fan blades. I just sprayed in a lot of WD40 with the red tube attached then ran the fan at full speed. Hey presto when the fan returns to normal speed no squeaking. OK so the inside of the car now smell like WD40 but that will pass.

What kind of lubrication does a Toyota use?
Many new Toyota models are certified for a new, zero-weight synthetic lubrication standard, or 0W-20. This lower viscosity oil pumps better when cold, yet provides uniform lubrication, reduced friction and better overall efficiency than conventional engine oil.
When to change oil in rotary lobe blower?
Simply drain the oil in the blower and refill the reservoirs with ROOTS™ Synthetic Oil to maintain optimum performance. Oil viscosity is dependent on the expected ambient conditions surrounding the blower and driver. The required viscosity is as follows: The oil should be changed after the initial 100 hours of operation.
