    The oil doesn't need to be changed and by taking the bearing apart you will run the risk of damaging it. See the post immediately before yours posted by me. Good luck anyway.

    I already did take it apart, that's why I want to check with Mike New on the oil. Does anyone have a contact for him?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I think Mike has retired many years ago now.

    Mike retired years ago, fed up of all the bullshit from various sources. The bearing does have a specific oil which Mike brewed up. The bearing will accept fresh oil which can be injected into the top of the bearing from a hyperdermic. I do not know what the oil consists of and I don't have Mike's number and I don't have any oil to sell.

    If Mike New is not available then some bearing specialist could comment on this:
    possibly a low ISO synthetic oil + DuPont Molykote M Gear Oil Additive?

    Have a look at somewhere like Vinyl Engine, or see if you can find a bearing specialist locally.
    My personal opinion is that something like a 100% synthetic light machine oil/compressor oil (ISO 46) would probably be sufficient, but don’t hold me responsible if it does not work out.
