Default lubrication

How do you lubricate swash plate, bearings and the shaft? Is maverick mystery oil okay?

Thanks, in advance.

I use Tri-Flo available from most bike shops.

Yes swash gets union 76 as all other bearings. Bearings need THICK stuff, anything thin will be slung out and the bearing will then run dry.
On the shaft I also put union 76 now. I used to use teflon spray but that leaked down into the bearings, flushing them out and making a mess.
