As TdAudio says, this 12 month thing sounds more precautionary than anything else.
If you are using the T/T regularly then the oil will be directed to the top of the bearing in which case I don't see the need for constant re-lubing?
I'd be more concerned if it was left inactive for very long periods?
When TW first went into manufacture (despite the old style of oil application) the emphasis was more on the Raven being "maintenance free". I bought the Raven on this premise so it's too late to move the goalposts now! :)
Currently I've done one relube in 4 years and see/hear no change in performance on reference recordings.
Kind regards....
