I think the idea behind the sealed bearing was to keep the oil out, but as we all know, the seals fail over time and oil gets in anyway. I don't think the bearing design works well enough to just be lubed with oil. Opening it up to get some oil in it might be a quicker path to destruction than leaving it alone.
