Well, after many threads on many forums, plus reading the references of the references, I see that the right choice is MOLYKOTE® EM-30L Grease, a DuPont goop, which is a PAO grease with lithium and PTFE, formulated specifically for plastics.

https://www.dupont.com/products/molykote...rease.html

I ordered a 4oz can from Amazon Friday, it will be here next week.

Of course before I found it, I bought some silicone lube spray, a tube of lithium grease in addition to what I already have.

Well, I have been patient, so I will be a bit more patient.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
