Pedro's Garage now has a system to oil the IMS bearing. Check it out.

OEM IMS bearings fail due to structural weaknesses, especially with respect to single row bearings, and leaking seals that compromise lubrication. Delivering more oil to OEM bearings doesn't fix these problems. The track record for unsealed ceramic replacement bearings shows that splash oil adequately lubricates these bearings over thousands of installations and thousands of miles.
