ROOF LUBRICATION
Guys,
If anyone has a suggestion for the best lubrication to use on the roof support brackets, I'd appreciate the input.
Sometimes I found it to be better using what others have had success with rather than adhering to M-B recommendations in the manual.
I'm in Northeast so temps get quite cold. Obviously that plays a part in the selection of the lube.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I'm going to use LPS-2 on mine. That particular lubricant has worked on the planes for years. I do like that there is an available spec sheet on this product. LPS-2 has been tested and used in varying applications similar to our hinge joints.

I would say all articulating joints. Take your time and research every hinge point. While you are there you can inspect every strut cartridge. It's like an Easter egg hunt finding them all.
