    What's the best thing to use on it? I have some white lithium grease, good enough?

    I used white lithium grease to good results. I just opened it up, sprayed the shit in and sprayed it while it closed.

    No, you want a type of lubricant that is going to stick around. Something with a little thickness to it. The white lithium grease should work well.
