You really should use grease in the mount bearings...something like a light viscosity Lithium grease is OK.

Grease is designed to hold the lubricant in suspension and release it under load, heat and work.

Agreed that these bearings are not under great rotational loads but oil alone is not enough for adequate continuing lubrication.
