    Whirlpool dishwasher runs too long
    My Whirlpool dishwasher DU8500XB1 runs over 2 hrs reg wash!
    Do I need a new timer, or some other part, or just some oil?

    Here's the Whirlpool site's literature search page where you can get owners manuals for your machine:

    Here is the actual owner's manual:

    The manual does have one suggestion for the cycle taking too long:

    "Water temperature is too low -- If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is 120°F (49°C) minimum. See recommended procedure on page 13. "

    Be sure and check that out. I doubt that oil will do much. If your water is up to snuff, the timer cycle could be watched with a voltmeter.
