Word of caution - be careful when using synthetic lubricants around
plastics and varnishes made prior to the 90's. Synthetic's will
attack these materials in adverse ways especially the varnishes used
in motor windings. The breakdown will not occur right away but will
eventually destroy this material. Synthetic's are great on the new
products made today.
