The bearing now has to work much harder to push the rolling elements through a mud bog of grease.
Purchasing an electric fan motor lubricant can be more difficult that some people realize because there are many factors that you have to consider.
Motor casing full of grease if the grease cavity is overfilled and high pressure from the grease gun is applied the excess grease can find its way between the shaft and the inner bearing cap and press into the inside of the motor.
