[ROVERNET - UK] lubricating heater motor

[Fritz Rauschenberg]

Use synthetic grease-it won't congeal. Several are available. The one I
would use is a light weight one made for high-end bicycles. It is Pedro's
synthetic grease. It's a good product. Amsoil is also excellent but it is
heavier for automotive wheel bearings, primarily.
