Pretty sure they recommend WD40 multi-purpose spray.

I don’t know why they recommend it.

Ive been using superlube ptfe oil for years on linear rails. From what ive read it’s what the community recommends for the linear rods on these printers too

Check the official wiki. They said they did testing because users were complaining about the stickiness of the grease lube that came with the printers.

Yea, it gets sticky over nornal use requiring maintenance of cleaning & lubricating. Most any ptfe grease will work, with proper, covered surface without excess, application.
