what , if any, grease to replace it with?
Simple sleeve bearing .


I use heavy gun oil.
Most of the fans I fix are not frozen, but loose and noisy.
The heavy gun oil stays in the gap better than the thin stuff.
For fans without the plastic plug, an insulin syringe filled with
oil will inject right thru the label, often without removing the
fan from the box.

I use synthetic motor oil - this also restores CD player motors (CDM-3
as an example).

A quart will last generations in normal shop use for tiny fans and motors.
