You need a dielectric non-wax based silicone grease.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

PBR’s stuff is great. It’s the real deal they used back in the day.

Depends on how old it is.
Old lithium/wax based greases will separate in the tube, where a semi-clear fluid will present itself upon being used after a long period. This fluid is usually mineral spirits based and while not flammable it is combustible under the right conditions.

Still, there should not be any smoke of quantity coming from this unit.
