Aren't these mostly 'sealed for life' ?

If you can get access to the bearing then use something light. Say
sewing machine oil or 3-in-1.

I would use gun oil for this sort of thing, since we have it and since
we don't have sewing machine oil, but I have no idea if they really are
the same sort of product. And what about shaver lubricants, they are
pretty light? Are there really big differences or is a light oil a light
oil? Anyone know?
