Expert Reply:

There isn't an exact torque value for the spindle nut regardless of whether or not the hub uses grease or oil. The nut will need to be tightened until there is no side to side play on the hub. It is more of a process by feel rather than specific torque value. The process would be the same for both grease and oil bath hubs.
