3-IN-ONE Motor Oil, 3 OZ [24-PACK]

Purchased this oil to overhaul a vintage Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub I was rebuilding. Did some internet searching to find the proper oil to lube the hub with after disassembly and cleaning. This brand of 20w motor oil was recommended. Another reviewer of this product mentioned using this oil on the SA hub. Was not disappointed with the results. In addition to greasing the ball bearings (loose and in retainers), this oil was added to the internal parts before reassembly. So far no complaints with the hub. Will add this oil periodically to maintain the hub. I have also used this oil on my 30 year old sewing machine with excellent results. For anyone 3 in 1 oil it is important to purchase the motor oil for such applications as the Sturmey Archer hub.

One of my pc case fan had terrible clicking noise on ball bear. Had two drops there and the noise is gone after minutes. So it works with small motors..

A reliable light weight oil. Cap is very difficult to remove so only 4 stars.

It’s just oil quick shipping

I bought this oil because it has the widest array of lubricating uses as far as I can tell. It is designed for electric motors, but since it is just oil with very few additives, it can be used for pretty much use. I use this to oil my regular door hinges, garage door hinges, and tools. A lot of people prefer white lithium grease for hinges, but I find that it makes a pretty big mess unless you disassemble each hinge. Note: When you snip the top of the spout open, snip as little as possible to leave as small of a hole as possible. I read this in another review, and I am glad I did. The oil comes out plenty fast enough even with a tiny hole.

Works as intended

I took them apart 3 years ago and used the 3in1 oil in the black bottle. Trouble is that oil becomes a black tar so I had to take them apart and do them again had to wire brush off the black tar . I used 30weight none detergent oil on the Lakewood and this sears compressor oil that does not state what type it is. Both these fans have oil ports and a wicking packing yet it has the old wrong oil. Both fans began the make noise on the front bushing , these are not bronze bushings they are steel. I had to keep removing the front cover and wipe the slight black film off and work the shaft in and out to clean this and re oil until they were clean. I got this oil because the Patton fan kept doing this so I used this oil and its been fine for a month and no noise. If they start this again . I need to remove the old packing because when the bushings get hot the wrong oil gets back in then use this oil on both. Point is I cant use the oil ports because of the wrong oil in the old packing will get back in the bushings. With heat alone it does. I will wait until any noise starts again then replace the packing and use this oil and should be fine. These fans are from 1991 . Took years before either made noise , I have no idea if the wick packing was oiled and the bushings or why wick packing was used for steel bushings, I assume its for holding oil released by heat. Point is dont use anything other than this 3 in 1 20 weight none detergent oil thats what Mcmillen who makes these old motors told me to use 20 weight none detergent motor oil.

Container is easy to open and easy to use, without making any mess, if youre careful. Can was so fairly slim and easy to work with in the space I had available for repair. Used the oil on an old oscillating fan I have outdoors. Fan motor would hum but no movement at all. If youve ever experienced this issue, you can sometimes spin the fan manually and it will gradually work by itself after that initial force. So for my particular repair, theres pieces of rubber that dry out because I have the fan outside on my patio, in constant hot and humid weather (S. Texas locale). Oil was not available at my closest Walmart and I didnt want to make the drive to Home Depot or Lowes. Shipping on this was slower than they estimated, though it was free. The can came out to just over $9, if I recall correctly. For my uses, that small can will last me a couple years, so its worth the money to get the right product for the job. Very satisfied with purchase

This oil can easily revive things a lot of people would give up on.

This oil works great for those jobs that require a long lasting presence. The can is great for just adding a drop of oil to the little space where it is needed. I have a little problem getting the cap off. I keep one of these in the garage and in my shed for quick access and usage.
