[Kenwood] fan oil

Wed Nov 15 19:39:48 EST 2006

I suggested the 101 oil, and I have been using it for a few years 
without problems. My success may be due to not using the oil on 
plastic parts; however, if there is a plastic-compatible version of 
the Labelle oil, it would be prudent to use that. If you already 
have a bottle of 101, I wouldn't throw it out. Thanks for the 
information, Jim.
