you can use the red/green/blue assembly bearing companies provide or a 50/50 mix of STP and motor oil. Or, if you know it will be fired up soon you can use motor oil, a straight 30 wt racing or diesel type oil.

So no grease of any kind required? I heard white grease? I've done these before, but have only pressure lubed them before firing...never used grease.
