Roof A/C Fan Motor
I have a 2008 Allegro Open Road. The rear roof A/C motor is failing. I'm certain it's the motor itself. Sometimes when it kicks on it just hums and barely moves. I can get it going by hand-spinnin...

Westend - Crazy thing - It'd free up, and run longer, if I sprayed WD-40 instead of applying Turbine Oil. I know the stuff goes away fast, but it was actually more effective than the right product.That's because WD-40 is made from petroleum distillates and coconut oil, either of which may have less viscosity and shear than the turbine oil you were using. It may have allowed for less friction in that application but that doesn't mean WD-40 is a good lubricant. It isn't. It also has the nasty attribute of dissolving rubber and some plastics.
I've limited my use of it to wet spark plugs and, with the straw top, makes for convenient cutting oil dispensed when cutting aluminum with a power saw.
Sorry to go off on WD-40 but I was in a situation where WD-40 nearly cost the loss of ten lives and a near environmental disaster.
