I’ve used a bunch of greases and oils but seem to prefer regular old 3 in 1 oil in mine.
1drop, 180 degrees apart (2 drops per bearing)

Thin oil like a 3in1 like @Mr.Duke stated above makes them nice and fastest spinning. Easier to apply.
Grease or oil... depends which rig and how I want to run. Dirty bashing or speed runs.
Grease(any Automotive/Marine grade type) will make the bearings last a bit longer than oil IMHO. I use Mobil 1 synthetic(red) grease or SuperLube Synthetic (clear with Teflon). A 14 oz tub/can will last you many years. I don't use the expensive designer RC lubes any more. There's no difference except the much higher
cost.
With grease (the seals off), only put 1/3 grease in there or you will bind up the balls/races. A small dab is all you need.
BTW, I use RPM's Bearing Blaster for cleaning bearings. Faster and more effective. (with seals off). If bearings have unremovable shields like stock ones, the Bearing Blaster is the only way to clean them.
