Dow silicone grease
I’ve heard that Zenith is recommending Dow silicone grease for controls lubricating etc. it looks like around $50 for a small tube, vs about $10 for every other silicone grease. Is it worth the difference?

When Zenith first came out with the nose gear puck suspension, they used 3M Silicone paste grease. A small jar lasts for a long time and works great and I think any quality brand would be fine.
