When relubing computer fans, I was wary of using 3 in 1 oil.
Maybe I have stumbled into more of a clue about this.
Avoid 3 in 1 multipurpose oil;
3 in 1 (NON-DETERGENT!!!) motor oil (in the blue can) is OK;
1 quart of of non-detergent motor oil is fine and will last a lifetime. [1]
WD40 is a penetrant and can damage some plastics.
WD40 is a lousy lubricant.
WD40 evaporates.
