    Oil is what goes into the small caps. Just a few drops will do in each cap. Now the things you are talking about are bearings and if they are defective no amout of oil will save them.

    If its 10 weight it will work. Actually I use turbine electric motor lube for everything unless I have a problem then I go for the Zep 45 that stuff is super slick and lasts a long time.
