using oil as lubricant for case fan

[Nayo]

I have 2 hours tonight to clean up my PC and get going for tommorow. As i dont have grease and wanted to clean all the fans , how about using some coconut oil ? I mean it wont cause any problem right ?

Buy a new fan, problem solved. it will cost less than buying the lubricant.

Nope dude . i wont buy the lubricant . ill borrow it for 0.075 US Dollar. seems quite resonable .A new fan costs 7.5

Makes some noise . IM going full clean up tonight . changing thermal paste . almost re assembling the pc . cleaning up everything and then lubing stuff

'makes some noise'.
Is this the actual bearing? Or is it possibly a loose mounting?

While the term 'coconut oil' has the word 'oil' in it...it is not a lubricant.
Just like 'Extra Virgin Olive Oil' has the word 'oil' in it....you do not use this to lube your fan.
Or " Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil". Again, the word 'oil' presents itself. Do not use this.

Over the last 10 years, PC's in my house have a collective 250,000+ running hours.
Number of times I have had to relube a fan: 0.
