Basis bearing lube - Debut and Ovation

Yes I have both. I have done a search for Basis recommended bearing lube but found only general discussions. What does basis/ AJ Conti recommend for lubrication of the bearings on these tables? There are many discussions on lube but I cant find anything they recommend. I had to take them apart for a move. With the CES going on, I doubt I will get a speedy answer from Basis (as I have emailed another question earlier with no response). I love my turntables but find the lack of manuals or technical information about maintenance on the Basis site a little frustrating.Thanks

Basis has their own oil, why mix when you can get OEM for cheap.

Refloating from the depth this thread to avoid opening a new one with pretty much the same issues:

I wonder if anyone can point at me how to check/fill in the oil in the bearing house on a Basis Debut TT?

I have the original manual but it does not mention anything at all about how to check it/refill after mounting the ttable after an overseas trip (duly dismantled as per Basis’s instructions).
Thanks all in advance!
Brgds, Marcelo

The factory is very responsive to phone calls, email and can provide instructions and proper oil as they have done for my table
let me know via PM if you need email
But it is on Basis website
