DO NOT use industrial lubricants like WD-40 or white lithium grease on internal plastic gears inside V5 motors or cartridges.
You may use light synthetic oil or synthetic grease like SW-92SA that is used for fine/plastic mechanical internals of cameras, printers, keyboards, dvd players, etc…
V5 motor Cap and Threaded Insert replacement parts are sold separately
May need to be moved into V5 Motor electric/programming entry:
