Hi, I use a Product called
WD-40 SPECIALIST ANTI-FRICTION DRY PTFE LUBRICANT./400 ml
There are similar sounding wd-40 products on sale which makes it easy to get the wrong item,
This will lubricate your gearboxes as well as coat the gears with low friction PTFE,
Because it is such a low friction product it is very effective with brand new gearboxes.
I can spin my gearboxes with my thumb and forefinger and it does not get all over the electrics like other lubes do.
Shaun.
