Instead of replenishing bearing grease... pump oil into it: Fact or fiction?
The short answer is that pumping oil into the bearing is in no way a substitute for replenishing bearing grease. As you probably know, grease is a product of dispersion of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant. Over time while in service,

Correct Electric Motor bearing Lubrication.
How much attention do you pay to electric motor bearing lubrication in your facility? Have you ever had to contend with lost production caused by a bearing failure: Well in this article we’re going to look at the correct electric motor bearing lubrication methods to avoid this costly exercise.
Most electric motors are designed with grease-lubricated, antifriction, rolling element bearings. Grease is the lifeblood of these bearings because it provides an oil film that prevents the

How to lubricate a bearing?
How often do you re-pack bearings? Ever wondered whether you’re doing it right? Well here are four important considerations when deciding to lubricate a bearing:
• Lubricant selection
• Application method
• Volume of lubricant to be delivered
• Application Frequency.
There are many different ways to lubricate a bearing, and opinions vary concerning which approach is best. Therefore, the best approach may be to use several methods to develop a strategy that defines default values, which can then fine-tuned, based on feedback from visual inspections, operating temperature, ultrasonic instrumentation and other factors. Due to the variability of operating conditions and machine design, it could be impossible to be precise without introducing the condition-based component to the
