GL, mD

Well mD I just pored over the old threads, and found this quote from a former dealer tech:

"If under the hood you take out the cabin filter assembley and turn recirculation off youll be able to stick your hands inside and touch the blower motor"

If you can touch it with your hands I would imagine maybe we could lubricate it somehow, maybe some white lithium to the rescue, I imagine petroleum based lubricants would not last long - if I have some extra time this weekend maybe I'll pull the cabin filter housing and see if its visible/reachable - mines not making noise but I would like to know if periodic lubrication might give it longer life
