Bearing oil suggestions

Hey all. I can’t believe I’m asking this, but, any suggestions for bearing oil? I used to use Singer Sewing Machine Oil, but should I change?
 
For the oil well bearing in my VPI turntable, I use Super Lube. VPI recommends automobile motor oil.

The choice of oil is not critical since the speeds and loads are low.

Is the oil for the Feickert? If so, I thought the Blackbird had an inverted bearing. Those typically use grease rather than oil. I’ve seen the Super Lube grease recommended for VPI inverted bearing turntables.
