It's a maintenance thing. Grease=less, oil=more. Pros have, and I suspect still do, use oil. They also have mechanics rebuilding their bikes everyday. That being said, using oil on a track bike makes sense, just reoil or repack after each trip to the velo. I second the PW Tenacious oil, seems to be the best of both worlds.
