 Lubrication of electric motor bearings
by: Pete

It's not absolutely necessary, but it will prolong motor life. If you are going to do it, a light grade of oil should be used. Model railway oil is good, and sewing machine or beard-trimmer oil also works. Don't use lubricating sprays though, such as WD40, they are not viscous enough.
