Oil bearings on a brushless motor?

[NorthernBoater]

Is it necessary to oil the bearings on a brush less motor?

[Fluid]

It depends. If the bearings are sealed then oiling does no good (and no harm either). However, most of the BL motors use unsealed bearings, so oiling is needed. Just a drop on each bearing before each day of running.

Use a good quality oil, NOT 3-in-1 or other such cheap oils. Marvel Mystery Oil works very well, as do the various hobby oils for bearings (not the oils for bushings, there is a difference). I'd steer clear of the various Teflon oils, although some swear by them. Others swear at them......

No sir. They are sheilded, but not sealed.
