I would have thought that a ball-drive, like the Jackson, would do better with a grease rather than an oil, but when you realise that there are now 20 million cS oils available, the question seems less clear. I think I'd still be inclined to go for a grease... but maybe for tuning a radio, oil would be better

What should I use on my HRO worm drive?
