Usually there is a small hole where you can squirt some oil inside.
An electric jack is great, I have been using an Atwood for the past 17 years and only replaced the lamp lens. I have been hearing of some of the cheap brands currently available having problems.
If you are using a weight distributing hitch, buy an electric jack that is rated much higher than what appears necessary, That way you can lift both the trailer and truck a bit to ease the hitching process. You should measure the mounting hole to be sure of the tube size. Measure the old jack both extended and contracted and if you weren't happy with the way it worked, compare the measurements with what is available.
It's not rocket science, there are only a few models in each brand.
