My Furnace Fan/Inducer Motor (not the Blower Motor) has been noisy all the time lately. I put some 3-in-1 motor oil by the Gasket. That really seemed to eliminate the noise. Some people have said (outside this forum) to oil it or not oil at all. I chose to oil-the sound was so loud. Was it ok to oil and with that type of oil?
I put it by the gasket. But what are the 2 orange rubber plugs that I can remove off the housing unit? Should oil go in there too?
Don't laugh. I'm a single homeowner and don't know much about furnaces. And I can't afford a HVAC guy right now.
Thanks for the replies.
(My main question was about whether the 3-in-1 was ok to use to oil the gasket)

3-in-1 will work fine. Since I can't see exactly what your talking about in relation to your '2 orange rubber plugs' most of the time you do remove said plugs and oli until it's full.
Here is actually a video that better explains it in detail: https://youtu.be/UKoK_U_GKZI
Hope this helps!
