[GreenKeys] TTY lubricants question again

[Jordan Spencer Cunningham]

I don't think anyone else responded to this-- at least not publicly-- so
I'll just add what I had discovered from some research:

I don't know about a specific, special product as far as the grease you
mentioned goes. I've only read that white lithium grease works well, and
I've noticed it freshly applied on several other people's machines here and
there. I'd love to know what that product is, though.

Regarding oil, I used 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil on my machines by a
suggestion elsewhere online. So far it seems to be working pretty well. I
was told this kind of oil doesn't congeal over time, so it's supposed to be
especially good for this use. I also assume the viscosity is supposed to be
close enough to original specifications, though I have nothing to back that
up except assuming other people knew what they were talking about.

I would be curious to know the opinions of the real experts around here,
though. This is just what I've learned in my relatively brief journey and
may not be the best.
