The (probably soybean) oil is a fine lubricant, but the constant motion should cause the egg proteins to coagulate. How long did it operate before you replaced the fan properly?
I gave up on book 7, so yeah, I tried sticking with it.
Unfortunately there is little plot advancement, perilous situations more contrived, and needless exposition/filler the norm.

I believe the "Nope" sentence was something akin to "{character} thought that {thing} because {thing}."
Jesus Christ. Would it kill you a little to show instead of tell?
