Default Oil for Lazy Susan?

What's the best lube for the bearings in a lazy Susan? I have the
normal household "Super Oil" (circa 1975) that I'd use for the
chainsaw and bike chains. Normal grease for the garage door
channel. Or synthetic white grease for bike hubs and crank shafts
(ball bearing based). And of course I have thermal CPU grease.

It's 4lbs of solid wood over a 12" pedestal made from 3/4" MDF. I
can't see the actual bearings yet. It holds about 2-3 pounds on
top. As it is, it doesn't turn too well unless you put more weight
on it. I've heard regular lubricating oil breaks down and gets
gummy, but I'm thinking the white bike grease may be too tacky for
that little weight.
