I read an article about watch repair -- the old multi-jewel movements. It wound up being a very esoteric story about having a separate lubricant for each various type of use. One watch took like 4 or 5 different ones. This person was totally into the mechanical knowledge required to repair interesting old watches, and talked about it like everyone would know all of the ins and outs.
Even so, I wouldn't feel too out of place using something like a graphite or teflon grease to lube a lens mechanism, but maybe it bears looking into more: there are groups specific to lens repair; maybe it's in a faq.
