Use a non-drying light weight silicon based oil.

^^^^^^^ Typo sorry.

I agree with Bill, but I'll go one step further. Never use
WD-40 as a lubricant for anything. It is not formulated to
act as a lubricant at all. It is for freeing up parts that
have corroded or oxidized together. It has very little
lubricating qualities at all.

I also agree with non drying light weight siliconE based
oil. Not silicon. There is a huge difference between the
two.

Lubricant for electric motors, if there is no manufacturer's
recommendation, should be limited to 3-in-1 types of lubes
and then in very, very small and accurately deployed
quantities. Oil can become a fire hazard if misapplied.

And get thrown all over when the motor spins up.
