Oil for Hunter Original Ceiling Fans
Hunter Original ceiling fans have an oil reserve that lubricates them
during use, The oil level needs to be checked periodically with a home made pipe cleaner dip stick. Hunter says to use SAE 10 non-detergent oil- which they sell in one ounce tubes for eight bucks a pop. I've got a number of those fans in my house and several of them need oil. I thought to use some from an unopened quart of name brand SAE 10 non-detergent oil that I bought for a couple of bucks a year or so back, rather than go into debt to buy theirs. I haven't been able to get a response from the Hunter Customer No-Service folks for the last 10 days or so but it's getting hot now and I want to start using the fans. Whaddya think about topping them up with the cheaper stuff? |

Whaddya think about topping them up with the cheaper stuff? I would do the same. OEM stuff is sometimes better but they have defined this oil as a general automotive product. |

I have a 1947 42 inch metal blade Hunter. Have used over the counter
automotive 10w ND in it since we moved it in 1973 and it still runs smooth and quiet.
