What should I use to lube my bearings?
There is honestly nothing better on the market that we have found as far as bearing oil other than 10w30 Mobil 1 car oil. The oil is highly engineered and designed for high temperature situations, and a quart will last you your lifetime in RC.

hmm, I guess thats right, it is a high quality oil, it is made for extremely high temps, and a 3$ quart of oil will last literally a lifetime.
I dont know how hot clutch bearings get, but maybe a w20 oil would be a bit better? w40 is for extreme temps, w30 is for medium, maybe a 5w20 would be the best?
