The bearings should not need any lube. Gearboxes generally need to be lubed from time to time (the gears and the posts that planetary gears are on, not the bearings).

If the bearing is made from anything other than teflon or some other self lubing plastic, the bearing will need lube occasionally. Period.

A small drop of oil every now and then is all it will take.
