I recently got a noob Sea dweller and the rotor is noisy so I'm going to attempt to oil it tomorrow. Is this a bad idea? Should I just leave it alone? Is there anything I need to know before I open up the back of the case? I ordered moebius 8000 to use. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

It's not a bad idea - unless you screw it up.

Only apply a drop or 2 at most of oil to the rotor bearings, any more and you'll just create more problems.
