Spray lubricant

[suenmike]

Question: Can the same spray lubricant that is used on the levelers be used on the slide out tracks and gears?

That's what they told me at a DRV dealer, use the silicone spray.

Thanks oldbird

What kind of system do you have on your slide outs? If it is a Schwinteck system you shouldn't use silicone spray. It will leave a residue on the tracks that will attract dirt. The dirt e.g. sand will eventually cause the gears that mesh with the tracks to malfunction. You need to use a dry lubricant

Schwintek specifies in their "how to lube your slide" video what lube to use.

CRC brand spray according to Schwintek.

The key is to look for one that uses PTFE. I use Zep45 for my slides. I also use it on the underside of the slide that contacts the slide rollers as it minimizes rolling / drag resistance (since not all slides operate on rollers).
