    Used engine oil. The whole fix took less than five minutes and now the annoying noise I’ve been listening to for MONTHS is finally gone. Thank you!

    It would probably help if you also removed the oscillating mechanism off the rear and dripped oil into the rear bearing as well, although many times there's grease on the screw that interfaces with the oscilating gears so try to resist the instinct to grab the shaft and turn it from that end only turn the shaft from the front to work the oil in so you don't disturb the grease, I like to use straight SAE30 in a little needle applicator bottle I got cheap from the craft store.

    Bro no need to open plastics cover when you are not oiling most inner part, tilt to apply on the shaft to let it flow in. Use engine oil. WD40 will wash away the grease

    Use engine oil, works best. I used other lubricant oil, wd40, sewing machine oil, it doesnt solve low speed noise. Engine oil works best and no more low speed noise

    It seems to me that (other than cleaning) you don't need to take it apart further than 0:10 and as someone said, to really oil it, you need to take apart to get to the bushing on the other end.

      I used rust remover. But now the axe is really slow. I think it s dust piling with the liquid. Do some one have a better alternative? Engine oil really works fine? Should it be better some sort of gel lubricant for engine?

    Also you can literally spray it toward the middle of the fan from outside the grate. That will work too. Literally bought two years doing that.

    I have several of these I have to maintain and sometimes they are quite a bother! I sometimes have to open the motor and oil the inner parts of the shaft to get it free and running again. The rear white vinyl plastic oscillator piece can be removed to get at the rear inner bushing for oiling. And sometimes I have had to de-gum the bushings even because the fan slows down in a day or two. That way I don't recommend Coconut oil as it might gum up the bushing. Use motor oil. Once I sent it out to a guy due to tightening only after overnight, several times! He slightly enlarged the bushing using a drill bit with his hand only. It worked for months afterward. Even grease didn't keep it free before. These motors need real bearings for trouble-free long operation but they only come with bushings.

    Rear bushing is on the other side. It's equally important (you already removed the cover and removed the dust and grime). Swing mechanism also loves some light oil 👍😉

    I have had this type of fan with the same motor for almost 30 years and now for the past three years it has started giving me problem. Needs constant oiling. Sewing machine oil is useless. I oil both front and rear bushings.

      It will work for a little bit, but WD-40 isn't very heavy duty. A thicker oil like 3-in-one motor works better.

Let's say you cut out a new key for a keyhole, and it's too hard to enter, put a little coconut oil on the key and after sometime the oil helps to wear to the share of the keyhole. That's the way to use coconut oil as a DIY. :) Not for these mechanical motors and all. It wears out the machine parts. :)
