If I recall correctly, I did lube mine with wheel bearing grease. Although it only takes a very small amount. This is not a load carrying bearing.

Yeah, but no matter it is or it is not a load carrying bearing, I'm planning to grease it with the same wheel bearing grease. I'll do it with a small 5 ml syringe (no needle) filled with grease. Thanks for the response.

dont use any liquid or wet material on dry bearings or open bearings, it attracts dirt, wd-40 is the wort thing you can ever use on moving parts.
garage door lube is really good, sprays on wet and drys leaving only a thin amount of silicon or graphite depending on the product and will not attract dirt. Granted that bearing is clean after 200K miles i am assuming so its probably no big deal but just my 2 cents worth of useless advice.
