But the machine's going to be sitting a fair amount, so I don't want
something that will dry out and/or gum up. What do people recommend?
Would a 20SAE oil, as used on small electric motors, be OK, or is
that in danger of turning into gummy stuff if left sitting for too
long? Is there e.g. some silione-based stuff which is long-term
capable?
I use white lithium grease for that. It may not be the proper stuff,
but it's worked for years for me.
