I have built a cnc table and am using linear bearings on X & Y. Some are open and some are closed and they all have wipers if that's correct. My question is what type of lubricant should I use in the bearings? There is no oil hole or tube. I would have to slide the bearing off, pack it and reinstall. Can I use machine oil, white lithium or whatever. Please no guesses. Thanks :banana:

Shell Alvania #2 is an approved grease for the trolleys on ball equipped linear guides. Mine have grease fittings thus it is easy to regrease them as needed.
