Oiled my toothbrush

[bcossa2001]

Note to moderators - No idea in what forum to post this...

Battery operated toothbrush eating batteries.
Idles ok but surges/struggles under load. Terrain is somewhat irregular.....
Pulled the head and replaced it with no difference.
No maintenance records exist. No owners manual so not sure what weight oil to use.
Settled on liquid wrench silicone on switch and on the underhead gear.
Very smooth now and batteries seem ok.
Would never have occurred to me to try this without BITOG.

Did you use the high mileage silicone grease?

What make, model?

Wife probably used it to clean grout from base of toilet.

My wife's Oralb toothbrush cuts out every 30 seconds to signal it's time to move to another quadrant in the mouth.

Mobil 1 oil is rated ok for machinery where it might accidentally drip on food.

Atom lube perhaps. Apparently it’s an up and coming product at Walmart. Nano technology.....

I'd recommend using coconut oil in the future.
I use it liberally on cupboard hinges etc.
food safe if a drop happens to get in contact with food.

So is most of Super-Lube's line up.

Risks glueing it solid when it oxidises.

Food safe lube, such as Petro-Gel or similar.

Send it into Blackstone Lab and post the results.

Or [censored]-O-Lube MGC 111. If scuba regulators trust this stuff for life support gear and Honda says it's the only lube allowed near natural gas in their cars, it's good enough for me.
