    Hey guys... Today my sager NP8660's GPU fan started making weird noises when spinning.. I just cleaned it (there wasn't a lot of dust) but the noise is still here..

    Should I oil the motor or something? What can I do?

    you can clean the bearing of the fan.

    I went over how to revive a dying/noisy fan here:
    Clevo D900F (aka. Sager NP9280) – 4th Fan Modification (and reviving a dying fan)

    WD-40 should be in all hardware stores... and even supermarkets.

    there are also clone or alternate products that do what WD-40 does as well... just ask someone in the store if they do not specifically carry WD-40.
