My furnace blower motor has two small copper tubes that require
oil to be placed in them once or twice a year.
Is there any special kind of oil to use?
Automotive oil??

A reply from a tech would be appreciated.

Your local HVAC warehouse will have ample supplies of the required oil type, as will any professionaly licensed HVAC tech. So-- don't use 3-n-1 oil or motor oil!!!

Use 3-in-1 from the blue can, not the red can. One or 2 drops only.
