Grease/Lubricants
 

This may be a silly question but what type of grease can one use on plastic
components behind the dashboard. Is general purpose grease or petroleum
jelly okay? I need to apply some grease on the heating control unit where
the temperature slider slides across indentations on the underside of the
unit. It needs to be a grease type lubricant and not a spray.

In addition, what can one do to reduce the amount of effort required to move
the temperature slider on a '94 Civic.

Sylglide silicone grease works great with plastic and rubber components.
