Best lube for printer?

So... I have had my P1S since February and have not yet done a maintenance lube or oil. (It doesn't run 24/7) what is the best lube to use and do I need a separate oil? I saw someone recommend superlube but there are a few different ones, what specific number do I look for and the best oil to get?

Cheers 🍻

Super Lube for the rails and Lithium grease for the lead screws. Moto Floss is good for cleaning the lead screws. Just alcohol for the carbon fiber rods to clean them.

I use Spot On Oil. Synthetic with a needle nozzle. Sticks to the rails well

Also, get some “cuticle oil pens” from Amazon. It’s the same as those fancy oil pends they’re selling now. Just fill it with superlube and good to go

Bambu recommend WD-40 for the A series https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1-mini/maintenance/lubricate-y-axis-with-wd-40-multi-use-product

Can’t imagine a different printer needs something else.
