I have found that a silicon grease, thinly applied to the inside of the
coupler works well to prevent wear and is colorless. The same material
applied to the receiver, in a somewhat thicker layer, prevents rust and
rattles. This material is much more expensive than other lubricants but
does not melt or otherwise degrade. However, it is much to viscous to use
as a bearing lubricant. Hope this helps.
