Current information as of this posting from a phone call to Pullrite Superglide for the 16K with the latest design of the plastic wear plate, part #2700, use WD40 or 3 in 1 only. NO graphite or silicone used.
"Do not use any lubrication other than a light oil on the Way Tubes of your SuperGlide hitch. Using other lubricants, such as those with a silicone base, will create a residue and may hinder the functionality of the Turntable Cam Arm Assembly. Buildup of old oil and dirt can also create a residue over time and needs to be kept clean." Read more on their owner manuals online.
X2, unlike other hitches, the Super Glide turns so there is no friction between the hitch plate and the capture plate. The WD 40 is not for lubercation it is to prevent rust. Other hitches are stationary, so it turns under the pin, and some lubercation is required. Another reason to get a superglide! Off subject, once a year I paint the hitch plate after cleaning it. Black with a white stripe down the center, this greatly helps me when backing in to hitch, I line the white stripe with the pin, and from 10 feet away I can easily see if I am centered!
