Lubrication for VPI tables


I read in the scoutmaster manual, that vpi recommends relubrication of the bearing and motor around once a year, has anyone followed this recommendation ?

for the scout its both actually. white lithium grease on the platter bearing and oil on the motor spindle as recommended per vpi in the owners manual.

feel free to drop vpi a note if you wish to confirm, they are good about responding to emails.
I did this on my scout before I upgraded to the Scoutmaster. Why, any concerns?
i used the white lithium grease as recommended. i put about a pea sized drop on my finger and then touched it to the top of the spindle ball bearing. i'm glad i did this too, did not appear to be too much grease remaining.

on the motor i put the same oil i use on my car, castrol syntec. found a old quart, squeezed a drop or two out then layed the motor on its side and put two drops on the shaft just below the belt pulley.
