I recently put a 30-year-old brand-new squirrel-cage fan into service
(I bought it in the early 1970's and never got around to installing it),
and it was pretty "stiff" until I dripped about 10 drops of light oil
into each of its two "oil here" holes.  After that, it would start on
"high" but didn't want to start on "low"; another 10 drops in each hole
and it seems to be working fine now.
