(mini) servo gear grease

I was replacing the housings on my Airtronics mini servos and found I had to disassemble the gears and transfer to the new housing. Should I re-grease them, and if so, what's a good grease to use? I have white lithium grease spray, and the Neu motor grease laying around.

By the way, I will think twice before complaining about the cost of these little buggers - lots of precision little gears, precision housings to press-fit hold the pins, an AMD chip for control...

Thanks.

I used some white grease i got in a small tube. can't remember the brand name right now. Tower Hobbies also sells Hitec grease.
Hitec part#58450
Tower part#LXN741
kind of pricey though

Usually find it by the trains in a hobby shop if any are left.
Other then that a white lithium grease would work fine
