Sorry, it was 25 according to Bentley and there was a blown 20A in
there.  And I put in a 25A, forgot to check the owners manual...

Good advice to turn on the fan to see the motor shaft spinning.  It
is up and straight back from where I drilled the hole.  I think it
might be better to have the hole to the right farther to get a better
view and angle to lube.  I made the extra long hose and got some
Tri-Flow up in there but it's still squeaking.  I'm going to let it
soak overnight and see if it sounds better tomorrow.  might try PB
blaster next.
