Extractor Fan Lubrication.

Would you lubricate a fan motor this way?

    A squirt of WD40 every few years has kept the fan going on my boiler for over twenty five years, including an emergency application from a borrowed can at eleven o'clock one evening after it stopped working.

    Possibly the WD40 just thinned any existing dried out oil or grease and made it serviceable again.


    My can of WD40 states that it: Stops squeaks, Drives out moisture, Cleans and protects, Loosens rusted parts and frees sticky mechanisms. It is definitely a very thin penetrating liquid. The label does not mention lubrication at all.
