Lube for stabilizer jacks
What is everyone using to lube stabilizer jacks? I'm assuming a dry lube would be best so it wouldn't attract dirt. Mine are loud and hard to crank.

I use Tanker X.
Lemme' explain. I used to work on petro/chemical tankers. Various oils were abundant. this was the birthplace of Tanker X.
I now take an emptied oil bottle or any petroleum container and let the final drops drip into another container. When I have enough accumulated, it's transferred to an oil applicator. The final mixture is Tanker X.
I use it on a lot of things that need lubrication. My empty containers get recycled with the least amount of oil and I don't pay anything for lubricating oil. Dirt or dust that build up on oiled surfaces are an extra layer of protection, lol.
you're a man after my own heart ! I have been known to take the used Mobil One drained out of the truck and use some of that to top off my trusty oil can......
