MP 40 maintenance?

What is everyone using to lubricate the Westside of the pump? Noticed when I took the Westside apart to clean, looks like some type of grease is on pump internals. This is the first time I have broken down the Westside since buying.

no plans on lubricating wetside. Also don't breakdown wetside, just soak in citric acid, scrub with toothbrush, dry then rotate back into tank (1 spare wetside, 2 MP40s going in tank)

watching this post to learn

There was a recent post questioning what grease EcoTech used on the MP’s. One of their reps answered Molykote 111.

I regularly soak the wet side assembly in citric acid then completely disassemble and brush clean with a toothbrush. I then reassemble coating the impeller shaft and it’s base with grease. I was using 100% silicone grease from the home improvement store until I ran across the thread naming what EcoTech uses.

This is the stuff

Thanks. I looked everywhere and couldn't find this.
