Where to buy sae 20 motor oil

[newood2]

I need to get some single grade sae 20 non-detergent oil for an AC fan motor. This is a 20 year old Friedrich AC -wall unit. Both fan and compressor failed to start up. I replaced the run capacitor which was badly corroded and it's running and cooling again. The cap cost only $12. The new unit would have cost me $900. Now that it's working I've decided to oil the motor as recommended by manufacturer and give the unit a good clean up.
I check Autozone but they don't carry this oil.

Ace Hardware carries a small oil bottle that says "Zoom" on it. That oil is perfect for oiling motors.

I got several hits for it online, so you could order it.

Try a more upscale auto parts store like NAPA. One of those quick oil change places may have it.

I thought about NAPA but didn't get any hits on their website, strangely enough.

Those little bottles of 3-in-1 motor oil are SAE 20 equiv.

I don't always go by what's online. The stores at times carry stuff not always listed online.

good old 3 and 1 oil is perfect for bronze bushing motors which is what an AC motor is. if it hasn't been oiled for a few years use 3 drops in each bearing and let it run for a few days and then add another 3 drops to each bearing. then go to every six months on an a furnace fan or every spring on an AC fan. The bearing has a wick around the bearing and you need to use enough oil to saturate the wick if it hasn't been maintained in the last 2 or three years.

Thanks everyone, the 3 in 1 motor oil is the one. Got it at local hardware store.
Each oil port took 150 drops as recommended by motor maker after 2 years. It was never oiled in 20 years but it still work all that time. Good unit.
