Oil props axis ?

[jpblcm]

Hello,
I've done more than 180 km of flight and I ear some "new" noise when near propellers. I ask if somebody drops some oil (fine oil for precision mechanisms) on the propellers axis ? as maintenance ? or it is really non sense ?
Thank you.

It's probably your motor making the noise and not the prop. If you oil the prop, it will just get your prop and your shirt all wet. No need to oil them.

You could check you motor temperatures after a flight to make sure they are all around 110° or lower.

If it is the motor, there's not much to oil anyway. The bearing is sealed, so you're not going to get any oil in past the seal without taking the motor apart.

Ok Guys, thanx for your answers. I'll change the props to see if it changes the noise.

I read somewhere that if you dont unfold the props before starting the motors it causes more stress and wear on the props pivot points, not sure if this is the actually true or correct but after reading this I just roughly position the props in the open position, cant say if doing this has cause any less stress or wear on the props pivot points because my platinum in fairly new.

Thanx for your answer, I always unfold the props and always warm up the motors for 30 seconds. I'm never brutal and I use sport mode only when needed. I'm 80% in cinematic mode to film. I've changed the props, (always dji model) and the noise is gone. I took a closer look at the props with a magnifying glass and two had really little slits quasi invisible at the end of the props when the painting changes. Less than 2 millimeters.
So I post for nothing, I was careless...
Sorry for the "noise" I made myself.

No need to be sorry, it's all good data for people to refer to.
