Deoxit, or replace. No oil.

Not good idea but perhaps a push/push pot. It's what I use - a bit easier to switch. Just an idea!

Pennzoil 25W50!,,,,or maybe Johnson's and Johnson's,,,,,,,,depends on the shaft.

Would WD-40 work?

Slather on some axle grease

Wash your hands first
Axl may get testy otherwise

Oh and no not WD40
That's different stuff altogether

They generally use a type of thick grease that won’t harm the plastic internals. Don’t add a thinner hydrocarbon or you’ll have a gooey mess in there.

I found out Deoxit D5 has a lubricant in it.
I just used that.

Did it work?

Yes ... !

It kinda makes a mess squirting the shaft as it goes all over.

Thats why i go thru that stuff so fast as i loose 50 times more than actually gets used.

Don't worry, everyone does. It is easier to squirt it into the opening of the pot under the lugs.

Yes. With the Gibson PCB pots the opening is at the bottom, next to impossible to get to.
The tone pots & volume pots are 2 different types.
I could feel the action of the pots loosen up a bit after i used it.
Its a 2012 model but still very new.

Don't leave it there in the parking lot too long!
