How can I oil my MacBook Air fan?

Hey guys,

I've had my Macbook Air for about a year and it's been running great, but the fan has started to whine and from owning previous notebooks I know it's probably due to bearing/lack of oil.

I disassembled it but I couldn't find an oil/lubrication spot - does anybody know how to apply oil to a Macbook Air fan?

Any help would be great, I just don't want to have to buy a new fan

This question has been asked many times and there are several good answers. Here's a link to some: How to grease fans bearing?

That's not applicable to the Macbook Air. As my question stated, there is no obvious lubrication point on the Delta DC Brushless fan included in this notebook and other similar thin-and-light Ultrabooks - those guides all depend on a fan with a lubrication hole, which the Macbook Air fan doesn't have. Thanks though

Please give me the last three figures of your serial number so I know just which MacBook Air you have.
