What are you using at the moment?



I've tried various greases and WD40, also gun oil.

WD40 is mostly solvent, it's a very poor lube. Grease doesn't travel much. Any oil that can get into there and is mineral not vegetable should do. Chainsaw bar oil has extra hangaboutiness (tackiness). You could always add graphite powder if you like for some extra lubrication.
