Hmmmm... I don't know if I would oil a fan in my computer. If some of the
oil gets on the fan blades or drips on there, when the fan spins up it'll
sling it all over the place including inside your computer. I'd just
replace the fan.

No. NEVER oil a fan inside a PC. You're just asking for oil to be sprayed
all over the inside of the system, causing more dust to collect.

Replace the fan - the bearings, whether sleeve or ball, are sealed anyway -
there's no way to lubricate them.

You can order a replacement fan at a modest price from Dell.
