| grease
I use Slick 50 grease (green grease), I use just enough to coat the gears. If you use too much it migrates to the outside of the gear not doing anything. Grease that is too thick or too much will have too much stiction (sticktion), great for packing planetary diffs but not for general lubrication. Really any grease that is plastic safe will work, you are looking to reduce the wear and friction between parts. Just be sure to tear down once in while, I have seen grease harden after a couple of years. I hope this helps.
