For lubrication, use our Duralube grease which is a PAO (polyalphaolefin) synthetic base with inorganic clay thickener. It is available from the factory in a one-ounce tube (part number 091091). While it is best to not mix greases, grease compatibility charts will indicate what other thickeners are clay-compatible. (Calcium Stearate, Calcium 12 Hydroxy, and Silica Gel are compatible. Lithium is not compatible.) Never use lightweight lubricants such as WD-40, as they will flush grease and evaporate quickly, leaving parts unprotected.
