We use Imperial Grease with silicone.  Haven't found anything better.  John in Lansing, ILL

Can’t seem to find this on the web, just an aerosol spray spray lube with lithium, is that what you use? Do you have more details like sku #, where to buy, or a photo of the can? Lately, I’ve been using 90 weight gear oil rather than grease (Labelle used to sell this). Grease just seems to squish out from between the gears and then harden where it does no good. I have also used Labelle’s actual grease (forgot the sku#) with seemingly satisfactory results, though it does have Teflon. For cleaning old dried up grease, I use Ronsonol or Zippo cigarette lighter fluid (aka naphtha), which works very well, just keep it away from sparks or flame!
