Now i wanna check them an change the grease, but i am a bit confused. A campa collector told me once, the little oil whole is for thin oil.

Oiled hubs are for record attempts only. I knew a trackie who oiled all his hubs, but he didn't use the oil hole! He built his hubs without dustcaps and sprayed light oil (was it olive oil?) in from the outside while spinning the axles at high speed (wheel off bike). He did this to all his wheels before the start of a night's racing. Looked like a PITA to keep up with it. I preferred to just show up and pump my tires only.
