Hi all
What is the most most suitable grease for the guide tracks?
I have mostly JVC machines which has plastic guide tracks on metal.
and some LG which are only metal parts on metal.

It has to be from amazon since I live overseas.
I have a pentax dielectric grease which is silicone base. can I use it for the tracks?

or
Super Lube 92003 Silicone Lubricating Grease with PTFE
or this cheapest option of FOTU White Lithium Grease for 9$ is ok for most applications?

Thanks

The white or yellow grease are the ones usually used at the factory, Don't use dielectric grease, it's an insulating grease not intended for mechanical lubrication, Also don't use greases that have aluminum or copper paste, they tend to wear out the contact surfaces, those are used for sealing purposes not lubrication, Though I've seen them used in VCRs at the factory since they don't dry out, but I personally clean them out and replace them with white grease if I come across them.
