I agree with ryan1234. I used to be firmly in the no lube camp. What's more annoying than cleaning up solidified grease on a neglected machine? After having so many machines come and go I have changed my tune. After seeing a fair share of worn score reel pcb boards and stepper rivets I definitely am a fan of some superlube in those areas. I limit it to that for lubrication on score reels. I have always heard nylon parts are self lubricating anyway so never on any plastic parts. Recently I have started adding a drop of light oil to stepper shafts. Worst case scenario is I may need to clean and re-lube some years down the road. I can live with that. Probably a good idea to revisit those areas again anyway. Reality is these things will likely need service again in our lifetime.
