HP Lubricating Oil For Carriage Rod

[Mark Hatfield]

I understand that there is a special lubricating oil to use on HP DeskJet
printers to lubricate the carriage rod. Does anyone know the HP part number
for this oil and where to get it?

Thanks,

Mark Hatfield

I tried to buy the right oil in Melbourne form HP but got a blank answer so
I use a Silicon oil spray applied with a cloth, its a good idea to clean the
rod with a strip of cloth by wrapping it around the rod and work the cloth
like a burnishing belt to remove ink buildup first.

But yes HP oil is silicone
