Pulled out my old CDX over the weekend and noticed the CD-Rom is very squeaky when changing tracks. Took it apart this morning and noticed there is no grease left on the gears or rail.

Question is, what grease should I use?

Edit:
Also want to know about the 4 pots that are on the drive board. I noticed that it was having some issue reading one level on my Sonic CD.

hi do not ajust the four pots on your cdx system i have repaired a few
and its your laser try and ajust the pot on the laser its ok for me but for someone who has not taken apart the cdx before can be hard and beware of a little spring on the laser guide if you lose that your console is gone as parts are getting rare i have a few laser my self just in case i do buy consoles from the us from time to time

They sell plastic grease, don't use any normal kind of grease..
