... years ago, I setup two tables (two different kinds of bearings) in order to experiment w/different oils/&mixes. I tried a Moly type, but I much regretted the experiment. Not only did it not prove itself in testing, cleaning the bearing after became a real chore.

Moly adheres, turned the entire bearing black in the process. IIRC, I had to use special solvents (picked very carefully) in order to return/clean the bearing back to it's original non-black condition.

I bring this up, because if his Ariston bearing has turned black based on the prior use of Moly based oil, it will need to be cleaned before any other oil can be substituted.

And given that I had major issues cleaning my bearing after just a few days of testing, I can only imagine what years of use would entail ...
