Ricard,
In the original series 6, the run cap was 1.1mfd, no mention oil/bearings The 62/4 was a 1.5mfd cap plus/minus 20%. The 6X was again originally 1.5mfd, later changed to 1.6mfd.
As for oil, correct as you mentioned but what "is a fraction of a drop" as stated in the manual, beats me.

However it would seem you have cracked it, your original run cap. must be rather on the low side.
