Pro-Ject Lube it

Lube it is the Pro-Ject lubricant for the platter bearing of turntables with a non-inverted bearing: it keeps rotation smooth and therefore speed constant.

Lube it: when to use it and on which decks

Bearing lubricant wears away over time, and how quickly depends on many factors, climate and humidity among them: this is why Pro-Ject gives no fixed interval and simply advises keeping the bearing lubricated at all times. Leaving the platter turning helps it stay smooth, but it causes metal abrasion and so calls for more frequent top-ups.

There is no exact dose either: apply as much as seems right, and at worst the surplus has to be wiped off the deck. Lube it is intended for models such as Debut, Essential, Elemental, Primary, T-Line, The Classic, Juke Box and the X1/X2. For the inverted bearings of the RPM, Xtension and Signature lines Pro-Ject specifies a different product, Grease it.
