    You can also use a hydraulic oil of some well-known company, eg HM-68 or better. Edible oil is not suitable for lubrication - it cross-links and seizes the bearings under the influence of oxygen in the air. Ultimately, if someone wants to be so "green", he can use castor oil instead of a petroleum product. This is the best vegetable oil that can be used to lubricate anything. Usually, however, specialized lubricants are used to lubricate the bearings in fans. Their producer is, for example, the Lubcon company. Has a representative office in Poland - Świdnik.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the appropriate lubricants for fans, particularly in computer components like graphics cards and processors. Participants emphasize the importance of using liquid lubricants, such as technical oil or machine oil, over solid greases, which can clog the fan's bushings. Various lubricants are recommended, including Castrol spray oil, LSM molybdenum grease, and synthetic oils for precision machinery. Some users caution against using edible oils due to their tendency to harden and cause issues over time. The consensus suggests that while lubrication can extend the life of fans, replacement is often the best long-term solution for malfunctioning units. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and proper lubrication, is highlighted as essential for optimal fan performance.
