Grease for EQ3

Gday all,

Lately I have been getting into Webcam photography. While im watching Jupiter Ive started to notice my scope's axis's are quite sticky. I can turn the slow motion then all of the sudden i hear a crack and i lose my target.

From what I read Synta (skywatcher, saxon etc) use very average grease. If i were to disassemble my mount and regrease what would you recommend using. I was thinking lithium or silicone grease.

Also my 3rd attempt at Jupiter, 1st was too fuzzy and pink, 2nd was good, 3rd is best so far. 6" Saxon, 2x barlow, SPC900NC (880 flashed), EEEPC 1005HA
