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

I refurbish antique fans n stuff and like, put this on it when I want them to actually turn n stuff. And they like… turn once again from the dead. Lol

I used this product to oil my window fan, unfortunately i used the regular black 3 in 1 in it some years ago as it was really hot and i needed a fan, unfortunately i kind of forgot about it having detergent oil in it and used it for another 4 years, it was too far gone as it was making electrical burning smells after just reoiling the bearings with this proper oil, i dont blame 3 in 1, if anything the wrong product i chose of theirs helped, that fan lasted 4 more years and it was dead 4 years ago. I have other fans like my crofton tower fan and my honeywell turboforce fan i will not hesitate to continue to use this product on!

My bicycle depends on this oil for its internally geared hub (Yes, the hundred year old patent!). Youd think that when the 3-IN-ONE went from tin-can alley to plastic bottle, that theyd have given you a spout that wouldnt break off in your bike bag. It shouldnt cost more than a few pennies to manufacture a better closure. Knowing the lightning lethargy of progress, I just take off the wrapper and cap then pour the contents into an empty lighter fluid bottle. TAPE THE LABEL AROUND THE REPLACEMENT BOTTLE WITH CLEAR PACKAGE MAILING TAPE. Problem solved. The gears leak enough of this oil on my bike; they dont need help from the bottle itself.

Worked great

Ive always seen this with my gramma and her sewing machine. I had some water pumps that works outside the fish tank so I always use this to oil certain parts that needs it...

Its oil....

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..

This is a handy bottle to have by the crosscut shredder to keep it lubricated to handle thicknesses of paper, as well as credit cards and CD/DVDs of data to be destroyed. Read you shredder instructions for its maintenance advice. For us, this fits the bill and wasnt too expensive. You may find it more cheaply in a local hardware store. Check there first.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, it is important to realize that this is NOT the stereotypical 3-IN-ONE oil that has been used for eons around the house. That other oil was designed as a light household oil and it worked good for those applications. See here:

3 in 1 oil was invented in 1894. Its in a small can and is used for small jobs requiring oil lubrication. The only time this product would not receive five stars would be if the can was defective and leaked, or if the price was excessive. My can from Amazon did not leak, was in perfect condition, and was very reasonable priced. The only change over the years has been from packaging in metal cans to packaging in plastic cans. The metal was probably better. But if the plastic doesnt leak, its just as good.
