All oils are not the same. You should check with the manufacturer to see what is best for your table. The 3 in 1 multi purpose oil is explicitly identified as something I should not use in my turntable. Some manufacturers, like Linn, have their own oil mix, just like Honda cars do.
If you are in the USA contact Sounds of Silence:

Ask them how to clean the well/stacked ball bearings and what type/quantity of oil to use.

You will need to clean the well, and clean/inspect the ball bearings anyway (might as well do it right the first time).

Regardless of what I've read online I would never use automotive oil in a TT bearing and as mentioned 3 in 1 is not suitable (I avoid multi-purpose oil in general).
