Default Electric motor lubrication

I have an old (1947±) LeBlonde Regal lathe. The huge motor (G.E. probably
only 2 hp) has grease fittings on each end (motor housing). Do I really use
grease? Do I replace the zerks with cups and add oil? Or do I modify my
grease gun to use oil?

All advise appreciated.
