3They suggest or a specific one or a sewing machine oil. Few ;-) you do not want to have oil everywhere. Give it a look here too... or on other of the tons link you can find... [ or here...]– HasturCommented Dec 2, 2015 at 7:49

5I've tried them all. The fan fails again in a short period of time. The bearings are worn and lubricants can only hide the problem for a short time.– David SchwartzCommented Dec 2, 2015 at 10:58

1Which type of fan does your laptop have?– K. RmthCommented Dec 2, 2015 at 11:42

1Is there anything wrong with the fan at all or is it just spinning up to full speed when it gets hot (and at startup before the fan control kicks in)? May be that all you need is to clean out any dust.– JamesRyanCommented Dec 2, 2015 at 13:48

4I don't think this is the type of hardware or product recommendation that would "become outdated quickly" (little fans & lubricants have been around for decades & will be for many more) or be mainly opinion-based (someone somewhere must have tested different lubricants for fans) - why not keep the Q open?– Xen2050Commented Dec 18, 2015 at 22:08

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
