If you own a treadmill proper belt maintenance is very important. Many seem to neglect taking care of their treadmills. Proper belt lubrication helps to reduce wear on other parts of the treadmill. Excess strain can damage your control board, running deck and more. The lack of lubrication can cause an excess of heat and friction that can cause a lot of unnecessary damage and issues.

Most treadmills use 100% silicone oil or wax. Typically silicone is best but check your user’s manual for what’s best.

Typically, lubrication is warranted after 30 hours of use but again check your user’s manual for your maintenance cycle.

I’m using 100% silicone oil by Noosa. You can use any brand though. You can purchase it right on Amazon or your treadmill may have come with a small bottle. I like this one because of applicator. If your bottle doesn’t have an applicator you’ll need about one tablespoon per side.

Remember WD-40 should not be used as a belt lubricant…that can be very dangerous due to increase slipping, etc. You may be able to use it on other squeaky parts but definitely not as a belt lubricant. Always refer to your user’s manual or a treadmill repair company if you have in depth questions.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
