Quest M3 - front bearing lubrication
erikg	#1 Posted on 10/13/2014 10:10 AM

The owner's manual states to use 1 drop of oil between the rotating and unrotating parts of the front center drum bearing. I assume I need to use a high temp food grade oil but not sure. Can someone recommend a specific product to use? Thanks!
