I believe that many of us here prefer running rolling stock with metal trucks as they stay on the rails better.  As such you have metal rotating within metal.   A tiny drop of oil on all needle axle ends makes the consist run smoother, especially so with the heavy aluminum passenger cars. To not over oil, I use a needle oiler with synthetic 0-20 oil .

Actually, a lot of "metal" trucks still use Delrin needle point bearing supports for the axles.
