Russco/QRK/ Broadcast Electronics Main Bearing lubrication

Any Russco or later 12C owners out there with bearing oil recommendations?

I'm finding I need to run my turntable for a while for the speed to stabilize. When I completed the rebuild I used some fairly heavy weight oil in the bearing well. Once warmed up it sounds great.

It also has a tiny bit of audible rumble when the needle drops. Any tricks on reducing that?
