    When we used ones that required lube, I liked TriFlow and still use it in places. But we switched to Teflon lined heims and they do not require lube (in fact it will ruin them if you lube them).

      I agree with Matt on the Triflow. Almost all gokarters use the stuff, so it must be good. On a side note...back in my gokart days, I squirted some in my eye one night and thought I was done. It never burned or clouded up my contact.....Great product!

          Go-karts is exactly where we started using it. And for what it's worth (nothing), it smells really good. We found the MSDS on it to try and figure out what was in it and learned that MSDS doesn't tell you much. They get to use fancy words on MSDS kind of like the word "flavoring" often appears on ingredient labels for food products.
          If you only went by MSDS, it's pretty much the exact same as WD-40 but clearly it isn't the exact same. Trade secrets I suppose.

            QA1 sez to use penetrating oil and wipe off the excess. Tri-Flow is a great product, too.

              I've been using silicone spray lube. It dries and leaves a decent film that wont let dust and dirt stick to it.

                      Powdered Graphite.
                      Cheap and easy to apply and doesn't collect dust.
