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

I like 3-1 not 100% sure companies really change products like this but I am sure they do some testing. In my case I used it on a shampoo machine and it sounded better and thats all I can go by. I feel any motor especially electric create heat and lube helps

3 in 1 household oil usually what I use in my home.

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.

It says for 1/4hp and up, but it even works great on small wattage sleeve bearing computer fans. I had 2 fans that were acting up and making a humming noise, now theyre running as silent as ever. Didnt even need to take apart, just put a few drops on the shaft and let it seep down. A complete no-brainer for the price, as new fans would have run me $20+

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

I was recommended this product for my vintage fans. It works great and keeps my fans running smooth and quiet. Try it out.

It’s not been easy finding a non-detergent 20 wt. oil for lubricating small motor bushings and bearings. This is the only source of a small quantity I have found. The container is easier to squeeze than original metal container.

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.

Good value. Good stuff
