How much bearing oil?


I aquired a Heybrook TT2, 1980 vintage. It is basically a poor mans LP12. Because of it's age, I cleaned out the old bearing oil. I did this before realizing I did not have the original measuring syringe for injecting the bearing oil. I have a small bottle of new JA Mitchell synthetic bearing oil. Does anyone have an idea of how much I should use? The quantity in the bottle is tiny, but appears to be too much. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I can't speak for that specific table but when I finally replaced the bearing oil in my VPI after too many years, the platter stopped after one-and-a-half turns instead of one-half a turn.   The motor probably runs cooler now.  There was a little wear on the bearing.  Maybe a little higher noise floor.  I didn't notice any rumble.
