I concur. Our fans don't need oiled.

Ben, one of the main reasons I was able to build my own was this forum.  Lots of help from the smart folks here.   :thumbup:

There is a hole at bottom and top of fan motor that should be oiled every 3 or so months. I didnt know this at first and burnt up my first fan after bout year and half or so. My dealer said he didnt know about oiling them at the time either. He brought me a oil bottle that had small extendable nozzle on it that fit into hole.

I have some "turbine" oil I use on electric motors, is paraffin based and not supposed to get sticky when it dries out, a furnace guy told me non detergent lightweight motor oil can also be used.

 google zoom spout oiler, (i have no idea how to put links on here or i would). But this is what my dealer gave me when he replaced my fan. And it may just be the older ones, mine is a 2010 model.
