After further reading I realized the whole lube story has not been spelled out here. I extracted the folowing from This PullRite Manual
There have been three major lubrication changes to the SuperGlide hitch:
1. Prior to April 2008, Way Tubes were assembled with either a conventional, quality grade grease or none at all.(SlipPlate)
2. In April 2008, we started coating the Way Tubes with a graphite-based spray lubricant called SlipPlateâ„¢.(SlipPlate)
3. November 2009 brings a new innovation from PullRite Towing Systems with the use of plastics. The Turntable
Cam Arm Assembly is now equipped with Plastic Wear Plates (see Parts List Illustration on Page 16). (WD-40 or 3-in-1)
Depending on when your hitch was manufactured, the Way Tubes of your new SuperGlide hitch will meet one of the
above criteria.
This thread forced me to educate myself on my new hitch. I don't think I would have lubed or cleaned as much as I should otherwise.
