I put about 3-5 pumps in at each oil change and have been fine. You don't want too much in there or they are going to sling grease like there is no tomorrow. I would say if the previous owner took care of them you could just add a few pumps now and then continue to add a few pumps at each oil change.

If you don't know what the previous owner did as far as greasing them, I would load them up with grease. I let mine get away from me once and ended up putting about 10 to 15 pumps into them. I could feel the resistance build when it was full. You might want to try pumping until it starts to resist taking more grease.
