I was told by an air-conditioner technician that Turbine oil was recommended for use in the small fans used in air-conditioners, being that it is very light.

Can anyone give an opinion about this oil?

Hi all,

The fan in my 547 was running slow and taking a long time to run up to

speed. I took it apart to find the bearings all gummed up with sticky greasy
old oil. I've washed it all out with an appropriate solvent and now need to
relube it. Is there a recommended oil to use? I have various grades
available ranging from 3-in-1 to heavy EP90.


Do you think synthetic motor oil is as good as Kano Microil non gumming
instrument oil? I'm getting low on that oil.

It is a good oil, comparable to the original. It will become rancid in time just as the original did, especially if there is moisture. It is also used in hydraulic elevators as the working oil and as general lube by those working in the craft. It is well refined mineral oil with few or no additives, but I think synthetics are far better.?? I had far better luck with synthetic is fan motors in elevators. I worked in the craft for over 30 years. Most oil distributors have it by the pail, one source for smaller quantities is to befriend an elevator or air conditioning technician. Most appliance supply dealers have it in small squeeze bottles for exorbitant prices.?? NEVER call an elevator company, or worst yet, a supervisor.?? Deal direct with a technician, a cup of coffee or a soda will get you all of the oil you are likely to use for some time!
