How often to lube slider rail?
How often am I suppose to lube the slider rail? As you can see in the pic, it's just a single rail on a rather small slide-out.

Not suppose to 'lube' them at all....'lube' attracts dirt which attracts moisture and can cause rust and wear on mating surfaces
The rail/teeth should be wire brushed and a dry graphite sprayed on. The graphite goes on wet then drys to a film.
I have double rails on 2 slideouts. I clean/treat them once a year. Rig is 7 yrs old and no issues.
For the hydraulic piston that moves the rails I also once a year wipe the shaft down when ram is fully extended with a clean rag using silicone spray
