I've always used Tri-Flow oil. It's a light machine oil with suspended Teflon in it. If not at you LHS it can be found at bicycle shops.

Not to grease. The rollers have to move in and out, any type of grease will invariably result in a locked hub, like Bob said, triflow from a bike shop is the ticket.

ATF oil for automatic transmissions works well too. Anythign thicker will make the rollers stick.
