The 606 design was far superior to the 603 design with ball bearings. The 603 tensioners routinely fail around 100K miles, the 606 tensioners you rarely hear about failing except on extremely high mileage engines.

Lubrication is not your issue with wear, failure of the tensioning system (spring, belt, load, shock absorber) are your enemies. If your engine is functioning properly, you shouldn't even see or feel the tensioner move. Literally it should be completely still. Grease is a bad idea, the zerk is even worse because it encourages you to add more.

Might be a good time to laugh a bit, wipe the grease off (before it gets hot and blocks up the bearing pores) and wipe some oil in there like it was designed for and then forget about it for the next 150-200K miles like everyone else. Sometimes improvements are not improvements.
