LBS says "a drop of oil." So, good, I'm leaving it the way it is
The seal over the bushings should be enough to keep out all but the finest grit. (It was before, and I was careful not to damage it and to put it back together properly.) And if I understand it correctly, the ceramic should be harder than most grit.
BTW, WD-40 is not engine oil! It's a mixture of kerosene and solvents. I agree about not using it for lubrication though!

Sounds like you have a good handle on things!
As for the engine oil/WD40 I realize that they are NOT one and the same! My mention of both is to simply say that they both attract dirt and grit... sorry for the confusion!
Get some outside miles in for me; we still have several feet of snow on the ground.... it will melt eventually
