I've also got some synthetic waterproof high temp grease that I would have guessed would be good also.

Everything I have read about the slip joint say to use this XG-8 PTFE lube.

Most people don't have that in hand, I did not, and would not go out a buy it as you only need at most 2 tbs.

I am sure that using ANY quality grease at that point is better than not having any at all there.

All it does is move in and out.

Good research though
