A decal on my furnace blower seemed to say the motor was permanently

nondetergent oil.

I think 3-in-1 is like that, but I can't find my can. I did find a
4-ounce container of Marvel Lubricating Oil. Among the uses listed on
the label is "small electric motors."

Small is relative. Would Marvel Lubricating Oil be good for a furnace
blower?

I always use 10-30 in my oil can with a table spoon of STP oil additive.
I never heard of a motor dying from detergent oil. Do you want the dirt
to stay in your bearings and bushings or dissolve and flow out. That's
how I see it.

I don't like to interrupt her.
