15-20 years ago, I put some "general purpose" grease on the drawer sliders (non ball bearing style) of some of my tool cabinets. Over that time span, the grease has either turned into glue or hardened into a solid, making it difficult to open and close the drawer. No such problems with those drawers where I used motor oil on the sliders.
I have no idea which lube type, a grease or oil, is better at preventing a groove being worn into the slider (non ball bearing).
What do you use?
