My question is, what oil and how much.

WD 40 and more than what fits into the oiler.

Nick is correct, for that specific motor, wd-40 is the best choice.


Are we serious here? WD-40 is a water-displacing rust protectant and
cleaning solvent. It is the LAST thing you want to put into a motor bearing.


completely serious. wd-40 is what he should use in all his motors. You
don't want water in in the bearing areas, now do you?
