    interesting...too much oil to the ballscrew? are you thinking that it might cause heating from the churning of the oil?

    I was going to run FJB2's for my screws...

    Nate, I don't think there is any harm just the mess of all the dripping oil.
    The only other issues with too much oil would be if the screw wipers or the oil line were forced out by hdyraulic pressure, but this is unlikely.
