They didn't make a recommendation for any added oil.. The only instructions were to remove the platter, unscrew the bearing assembly, insert the new bearing assembly, and screw it down. We might have some sewing machine oil laying around. I was trying not to include the turntable mfg since a lot of people like them so much.. It's a Uturn Audio Orbit. Been having trouble with this speed (or possible tone/volume issue) for a while, and also had a LOT of trouble getting a London Maroon cartridge working on this table too. Maybe not the best pairing, but that's a whole other issue.
One interesting thing I noticed tonight is that the power supply brick is supposed to output 24 VAC. Tested it tonight, and i'm getting 28.2 volts out of it, fairly consistently. When the power does fluctuate, it's by a hundredth of a volt. I sent that information to the co-founder of Uturn tonight, but i'm wondering if that could be a smoking gun. That's a 17.5% increase over the spec'd voltage.
