I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!

Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!

It may be good for low speed applications like skateboard bearings but it’s not good for higher speed such as fan bearings. I tried using it with a fan and it seized up due to the heat. Once I cleaned it all up I used some motor oil instead. The fan has worked great ever since!

    That's good advice I didn't think of, since I'm only really used to applying it to low-speed applications (as you said).

    I'll be keeping this in mind, since I'm sure I'll need to lubricate my fans at some point and may have made a mistake down the line! Thanks a bunch.
