With an auto slide hitch the plate and head moves with the kingpin, so lubrication of the plate is not necessary and some teflon plates will raise the kingpin enough so that the hitch will bind (on an auto slider)- so no lube needed on the hitch plate and kingpin, but lube is needed on the sliding portion of the hitch, see the manufacturers recommendations.
