Lippert used to say dry lube only, last month in formal training class no lube was repeated several times.

If you used dry lube and the slide is working, then I would say keep on.

This would be the "most" I would, or will, use on the exterior slide "gears":

Just FYI regarding Schwintec lubrication! Use a dry Lube or a silicone spray with Teflon both are available in the WD40 brand at Walmart, but DO NOT use regular WD40 on anything that rotates such as your slides, it's a dust/dirt magnet.
Regular WD40 is great on rusted bolts & tar removal, but not on anything rubber or rotating equipment.
Just my .02!

I’m late to the party. This happened to me. The screw holding one of the motors backed out and the motors was basically spinning, wrapping up the wires because it became “unseated”. I got it to drop back in and haven’t had an issue since.

Good Morning, put the slide track assemblies back together yesterday. Replaced lower track, both rollers and plastic shoes. Measured distance for blocks, measured the slide for equal distance from side wall, lightly lubed block assemblies, buttoned everything up and then tried the slide. The slide operated excellent and I am one happy camper again. Thank you everyone for your comments and help.
