    I think lithium isn't good either, sorry. I just remember from being warned away from using it.

    This is the one Martin Bastin recommended when he serviced my 401 https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/greas...6446/?sra=pstk

    What do Garrard themselves recommend? Isn't it in the handbook?

    It aint grease thats for sure. Its a tiny bit of oil, Course as always i dont know what im talking about. Amazes me how people think they know better the the manufacturer.

    If anyone has the Handbook it will be in there.

    It is oil (see page 7 of the handbook): the same as is used for the motor bearing and the main bearing of the platter. The oil is supplied with the deck, unfortunately Garrard don't say what it is.

    I would have though a light oil, such as Singer sewing machine oil would be suitable.

    i said oil from the offset, but o no i got pulled up for that. I personally used the same oil as i did in TT bearing. I think the Garrard '401' oil was the same for all parts that needed oil.
