gee
i have 3 in one oil that i have been using on all my dishwasher motors and a zoom spout that my friend matt gave me (he's everythingold) but i'll be honest i have packed bearings before with wheel bearing grease and never had a problem that i know of. i have also used 10/30 car oil to be honest but not lately.
so at least in the past year since i started collecting dishwashers in earnest i have always used 3 in one oil but for those motors i haven't, all i can say is hope they run awhile.
but i do appreciate the info as i have been asking the guys at home depot for ages what type oil to use on motors and never got a clear answer. your answer makes sense about the detergent free oil.
i am getting a new motor anyway but would like to try this one. i just wonder if 3 in one will be enough to pack that sleeve bearing since it is a bit worn and the shaft is a bit roughed up.
what is the problem with wheel bearing grease? is it due to additives in it? please inform me! also is there another heavier grease or oil besides 3 and one i can use in this case to add cushion to that worn bearing? thanks
