Here's what it says (I got it from the VPI web site) "After at least one year of use, the platter bearing and motor will need to be lubricated. For the platter bearing, use .25 teaspoon of white lithium grease. For the motor, use 1 drop of 40-weight motor oil below the brass piece." VPI also offers a Magic Lube which I have not tried, but others have and say it is an improvement.
