20 Best Lubricant For Proform Treadmill (2023 Updated)

My motor less treadmill required silicone to function. the spray supplied with it is both wasteful (lift the belt up to spray, spray the wall) and difficult to apply to the specific walking area of the track and belt.

And, all the sprays I tried filled the room with the heavy fragrance of silicone. I don’t want to breathe it. This system allows delivery to the precise area, the only drawback is making some estimate of how much, since, applying under the belt.

you cannot see how much is applied. No fault of this smart system. only a clear belt would solve that one. Estimate in application is working fine. this will be my product of choice and impressed by the improved function of this low cost (but less intrusive) treadmill with the correct application of silicone.

My 12 year old treadmill was showing its age. When I used the treadmill, the belt would slow down all by itself. I checked the motor, power supply and control boards, all were ok. I checked YouTube for answers to my problem.

The more I searched, the more the word “lube” showed up. I purchased the bottle of 100% Silicone Oil and applied it as directed. As soon as I stepped on the moving treadmill belt, no slow down. The lubrication of the belt was the answer.

I should have paid better attention to the what the size of this bottle was before buying. It’s actually very small and the silicone doesn’t go very far. Used about half of it for the first use. Will shop around more before buying again.

This was advertised as a tool kit you can use without having to undo the treadmill belt. Not the case as the belt goes under the guides. However, once the belt is undone (simple DIY task), the tool kit is very effective.

Easily glides along the entire belt and even coating is guaranteed. I used with plenty of silicone oil I had bought separately, and the treadmill is well and truly back to peak performance. Thoroughly recommended.

Just follow the maintenance guide on Youtube channels and you can’t go wrong. PS my treadmill is a Schwinn 570T in case others have different belt configurations.

This lubrication kit makes it ridiculously easy to properly service your treadmill. In my case, there was no need to even loosen the belt. Following the included instructions, I used the included silicone to moisten the foam on the wand.

Slipping the wand under the belt was easy. The wand is long enough to hold both ends and move it forward and backward on the treadmill belt deck. This product was perfect for my purposes.

Oil the pad stick the rod under the mat oil side down and turn treadmill on low setting . I turned mine up to fast and it flew out someplace and I can not find it .

Product arrived quickly and as described. I hadn’t oiled the treadmill belt in a year and needed this product quickly. Grateful for the application tube – made it easy to get the oil far under the belt without getting oil all over my hands.

There’s enough oil for four sessions so it lasts up to a year (if you apply quarterly).

This oil made my treadmill look brand new!! I couldn’t believe it. Really good oil for treadmill lubrications! It’ll take a dried out looking walking band to a lubricant vibrant moisturized looking walking band on your treadmill.

Great oil for treadmill.

The wand is actually less than one inch wide instead of the 2. 0 inches advertised. It’s a flat stick with a quarter inch strip of foam about 18 inches long on each side. The bottle of oil is 1. 75 ounces and is supposedly a six month supply.

You can order a bottle from Sole Fitness for 15 dollars but it’s only one ounce. You can purchase a 4 ounce bottle at Walmart for less than the price of this kit. I used over two ounces lubricating my treadmill per the instructions in the Sole owners manual.

I’m not sure how a 1. 75 ounce bottle is a six month supply. I feel this kit is very overpriced for what it contains. Sole requires a 100% gel based silicone oil for lubricant. You can get a 4 ounce bottle online for around 16 dollars.

I’ll keep it just because it isn’t worth the hassle to return it. Hopefully the wand will work good. Would not buy again for the money. Not enough bang for the buck!.

The Lube-N-Walk Deluxe Treadmill Maintenance Kit welcomely simplifies the real necessity in service a continuously used treadmill by lubricating the contact betwen the belt and its platform. This maintenance kit lubricant supply lasts around 6 months.

The wood and foam applicator exhibits exceptable durabilty for the duration of the silicon lubricant’s availability.

Made lubing my treadmill exponentially easier. Will use again in the future

I absolutely love the quality and size of the treadmill oil. Being that I frequently use my treadmill, I really needed an oil that would allow me to keep walking and maintain the belt of my machine. This product is awesome! I will definitely reorder and recommend this oil to other treadmill owners! Thank you, Claudia A Satisfied Customer.

I used this on a Paradigm Walk To Fit treadmill. It works as advertised and the treadmill no longer slows down from the belt dragging on the platform. With just a drip bottle, it was difficult getting the oil far enough under the belt to spread rapidly.

It would be better and much easier if a long aerosol tube applicator was provided. Otherwise it’s a great product.

Handy one-time use, so no having to measure. Easy to apply, bottles small enough to get to all areas between belt and machine. Cost is a good value for the 3-pack! Definitely would buy this product again!.

The Lifestrong treadmill we bought 7 years ago was beginning to smell like something was burning. I had been using lube on the belt but it wasn’t helping. So I removed the plastic motor/drive-belt cover and vacuumed out years of dog hair – you’d be amazed.

Then loosened up the belt tension so i could vacuum and wipe down the treadmill deck. There’s a lot of fluff that comes off the underside of the belt. Once it was clean and dry, i lubed the deck with 3/4 of a bottle of this lube and then retightened the tension bolts to where the belt wasn’t slipping when walking on it.

Walked on it for 5 minutes and reinstalled the cover. So far it’s worked great and no more burning smell. Obviously the debris and fuzz and lack of cleaning was putting undue stress on the motor. If this is your issue – give it a clean.

Just make sure the belt is dry prior to reassembly/ lube.

This appears to be a good quality lubricant. I can really tell the difference on my treadmill after lubricating it. It runs smoother and quieter. However, the bottle is made of hard plastic so it’s hard to squeeze the lubricant out of it.

I had to loosen the belt a lot more than expected so I could hold the bottle completely vertical and squeeze it pretty hard to get all the lubricant out. Next time I will transfer the lubricant to another container to make the application easier.

Instead of ordering from a trusted supplier for my treadmill lubricant. I decided to buy this from Canadian Tire a couple days ago to save on time and money from having to wait on shipments. Well it turns out this Lubricant can’t entirely be silicone.

As shortly after applying the lubricant and working it in the belt is now sticky and unusable to walk on.

Nice item, great price, seems to work as well as the OEM recommended lubricant, that is impossible to find. Fantastic price point.

I run faster on my treadmill with this product. The lubricant lasts longer than others!

Well I have been asked to review this product. I have had my treadmill a short time. For me I feel I could have made this purchase a long time ago. I love to walk and when the weather is bad I can now still walk so of course I love it.

For the more technical info. , the motor is quiet, the computer set up to track things like speed, incline, calories, heart rate are all there on a big screen. I love it because I can adjust how fast I want to go or even run if I feel like it.

I’ve NEVER had a problem. There is a padded easy grip hold on bar. As a nurse for me it is great there is a safety element with the clip on monitor. It is well made, sturdy and I feel more than adequate length.

Easy to assemble. I am happy to say just by having it out in the open all the time (my choice it can fold and be stored) I use it more often. One big bonus my roommate (family member) has now also chosen to work out on it he loves the place to put his iPad and watch a movie while he works out.

It is an awesome treadmill. I did review searches before I bought and glad I did. This is a great price for an awesome machine. Also I so appreciate the staff, not computers to talk to. I communicated just by e-mail and the kindness and professionalism comes across.

Thank you for making this a great buying experience. PS my friend David Mastro at Vitamin Shoppe recommended this brand to me also.

Really nice product, so far I am very happy with it. I have used this treadmill twice since buying it last week and I have found that it is very quiet, has a great amount of functions and folds and unfolds very easily.

I have gotten a great workout from a 20 minute session on this treadmill. Only one problem I can see with this treadmill is that it is very heavy to move! It does have wheels, but it is extremely heavy to try and move when it initially comes in the box.

Best to have two, strong people to move it around if possible. Other than that it is great, it fits nicely in my bedroom with limited space. There is not much assembly required, there is a drink bottle holder as well.

It runs very smoothly once the belt is adjusted and centred and has incline, decline and speed functions at your finger tips! (On the handles), for easy access. I think I paid a reasonable price for a treadmill with many functions and a good quality, steady piece of equipment.

Used this on my Livestrong treadmill and it didn’t really work. May have been my ignorance, but I think I need a thicker lubricant. Ended up flinging everywhere in the room when I turned the treadmill on (even though I only used a small bit).

Even got on the walls and soaked through the belt on my treadmill and got on my shoes. A mess! Stick with traditional lubricants. After reading reviews, I decided to purchase this at the same time that I purchased my manual treadmill.

It does help the belt to glide more smoothly. My only complaint is that there was some leakage in shipping–the box was pretty oily when I opened it and the level of the spray was down about 1/4″. Since it’s kind of expensive, that was a bit frustrating.

TranslateShow in original languagePitkä letku vaikea kiinnittää pumppulloon ja letkun liikuttamista kohdennettuun paikkaan hankaloitti letkun materiaalin löysyys. Pumppupullo ratkaisulla sai kuitenkin aineen letkuun ja sinne minne pitikin.

Tai oletan että meni oikeaan paikkaan koska mitään käyttöohjetta aineen mukana ei tullut. (Vanha juoksumatto saatu joten ei siihinkään huolto-ohjeita ollut. Youtube selvitti mihin voitelu laitetaan) Se miten paljon tuotetta pitää laittaa, ja kuinka usein,edes joku arvio ohje olisi ollut hyvä.

Ja jotta pystyy havainnoimaan paljonko tuotetta pumppailee niin pullon kyljessä olevat mittaviivat tai vastaava auttaisi havainnoimaan asiaa. Pumppupullo ratkaisu ei paras mahdollinen jatkosäilytystä ajatellen.

Pumppuosa herkästi painuu. Onneksi siinä oli se osa millä pumppuosan sai ns. lukittua. Letkun pää olisi kaivannut korkin, koska letkua ei kannattanut pullosta irti repiä, silikoni olisi levinnyt letkusta ympäristöön.

Ja ilman korkkia letkuun jäänyt silikoni valuu osin ulos ja sotkee. Voiteluaine itsessään oletettavasti ihan toimiva koska vanha juoksumatto hiljeni huomattavasti (tosin maton kiristyskin ehkä auttoi hiukan asiaa) Pullon koko/aineen määrä aika iso.

Ehkä satunnaiseen kotikäyttöön riittäisi pienempikin vaihtoehto?.

TranslateShow in original languagePullon korkki oli jossain kuljetuksen vaiheessa auennut ja kaikki aine oli valunut pussiin, jossa pullo kellui melkein tyhjänä. Onneksi ***** oli niin tiivis, että sieltä ei ollut valunut ainetta ulos.

Sain sen kaadettua pussista lähes kokonaan takaisin pulloon! Muuta kokemusta voiteluaineesta ei ole! Laite ei ole tarvinnut vielä voitelua.

TranslateShow in original languageVoiteluaine on varmaan laadultaan tarkoitukseen sopivaa, mutta sen ulos saantiin voisi panostaa enemmän. Letkun vois vaihtaa esim. putkeen ja pullon suihkepulloksi jolloin aineen saaminen oikeaan paikkaan helpottuisi.

Voitelun tiheys oli tiedostettu hyvin, mutta millä voiteluaineella tämä pullo olisi korvattavissa?.

This lubricant works great. Each pack gives plenty to swab under the belt. I have put more than 20 hours on the belt at 300 pounds, and it is still running smoothly. I will buy it again.

Pro: Seems to be good quality. Cons: Very difficult to apply according to instructions, even by loosening the belt. Very easy to over-apply, cannot see how much is being dispersed using the sawblade pattern described in the tutorial video.

This is the factory lubricant for the Nordictrack Commercial 1750 treadmill. Works perfect and available for a fair price. Will buy again.

I purchased two sets . When I opened the first one, the bottle of lube had leaked and was empty. Wasted my money on it. Glad I had another one , it was ok

This kit make the maintenance of your treadmill super easy. Spreads the lubricant evenly and you will be finished quickly! Less strain on your ‘expensive’ treadmill motor.

I used to love this product, with the old cans with a straw hooked to the side. This new design is terrible. I bought a can, and after using half it decided to quit spraying. So i bought another can, it did the same thing.

I decided to give it one more try, and to no avail, another can quit spraying once it was half used. I’m not the only issue. I have watched friends smash these cans into the ground or throw them across the shop they were so mad due to the same exact thing happening to them multiple times.

I now buy the penetrating lubricant on the same shelf for half the price and it works until the can is empty and does just what I need it to do. I have tried returning these cans to the store, I collected all of mine, my friends, and families half empty cans (10+ cans) and put them in a box and took them back to where i purchase them.

They told me there was nothing they could do about it. I will never purchase this product again.

I’ve been using WD-40 for years around the house and in my auto hobby stuff (old Volkswagens). I’ve always used the old style can or the gallon with spray bottles for larger tasks lawn and garden stuff mostly).

I admit when I first saw the new smart straw can I thought it was just a dumb product gimmick. I picked one up only because there were no old style cans on the shelf. I was WRONG about this product. This is very well thought out.

Having the straw right there all the time and being able to switch back and forth is super convenient and the idea is truly just SMART! Now I actually look for this can over the old style and I can’t wait to try the new pen and blast style cans/packages.

I’m not even normally a product review guy but I genuinely like this product so much that I looked up this site just so I could WD kudos for a job truly well done.

It’s WD40. Nothing more needs to be said. With regards to the Non-Aerosol sprayers – I have had a few of the early models, the plastic ones. Good spray, but bad for durability. Knock them onto the floor and it’s 50-50 if it will survive – at least in my shop.

These new cans are excellent! And yeah, officially, you can’t refill them. But I would bet that there is a legal reason why the company doesn’t make them refillable, nor tell them you can. My feelings are if you use WD40, you are already pretty darn handy.

You know which end of a screwdriver to use, and with a hammer, you hold the wooden part and hit the mail with the metal part. It’s not too hard to figure out, you just need to trim off the bottom ring – much like a bottle of water or pop/soda.

Do that – carefully – and you have a really nice, durable WD40 refillable spray bottle.

This is super nice for flooding an area, like an old milling machine table or a lathe. It is deceiving though – you would think – you could simply remove the cap and refill. That is not the case. The company thought it best to make the spray head non-removable, without cutting part of the cap away.

This is a very deceiving product. If I would have know this before buying – I would have just grabbed a cheap spray bottle & the gallon refill.

This product is brilliant. It can sit in the shed or garage for years and will still spray. No propellants to disappear from a can. It can also be refillable, helping rod the environment of waste and nasty propellants.

It is also very easy to control where and how lubricant you need with the trigger action.
