Good day. Need some help about my MM motor. I saw some green color on motor. Can i spray it wd40? Thanks

I wouldn't do anything to it! Is it having a problem?

Thanks for your reply. I dont hear or notice problem on my MM. Upon checking the rest of the motor they all have color green. I think its some king of silicon or something. Thanks again

You for sure don't want to spray anything in your motor, except maybe compressed air to blow out dust. WD-40 is a solvent to the lubricant in the bearings. Bad!

Kind of weird, my mini is like tank. I have put that little guy through hell . Never complains. I do have a problem that video is choppy. I will post this on another blog as this is not related to your issues.

It's probably bearing lubricant, how new is your Mavic Mini ?

Seriously though I'd talk to Dji about it.

FWIW WD-40 is neither a solvent nor a lubricant.

I disagree. It is a light hydrocarbon akin to kerosene etc. As such it will readily dilute lubricants with higher viscosity. It works quite well at *disolving* (removing) tar from car finishes and for many other purposes. It is neither a good lubricant and often not the best solvent either. Otherwise it's generally benign and has it's place - just not on bearings and such!

It might be COVID-19. Put a mask on it and you’ll be fine. Just be sure to maintain proper social distancing of, say, 6,000 meters???
