Default Cleaned and reassembled my Kmart box fan

I took apart my Van Wyck Evenflow fan, bought at Kmart over 40 years ago, earlier this summer. Cleaned the fan blades and interior dirt buildup. Today I brushed each groove of the outside cover (over 100 grooves) with a tooth brush and screwed it back together. Van Wyck label on motor says New York, so I guess they made alot of fans for the NYC market and nation wide for Kmart.

Any oil for the motor?

I'll send Marlon Brando to get my prize. No need to oil the motor which requires
removing 4 screws to pull. And the groove count is 320 which I brushed
the tops, not bottoms.
