What do you have ?  IMHO if you have some grease with PTFE use it. I rubbed on some krytox grease but that is expensive to go out and buy. . if you need to buy grease a tube of lucas lithium grease from home depot should do the job. I am new to this game but have several lubes from other hobbies. I would think and good quality lube that sticks to the rod should be fine. You may want to look at the maintenance section of the SD web sight for suggestions.

I have an SD 2.  Need to get some grease so I'll go look for the Lucas you mentioned.
