Here is the section on System Maintenance from the Owbers manual and even though it says "gear tracks", the Service / Rebuild Manual and Troubleshooting Manual do not mention lubricating the gib, bearing block or V-rollers as part of installation procedure, regular maintenance or troubleshooting.

In this video LCI does not discuss lubing the gibs. Tons of independent videos do however. IMHO the gibs need lube. The tracks do not. And yes, Judge, I don’t think it’s a matter of “if” they will fail. Only “when”. And lubing the gibs may extend the when.
