Can you use di-electric (silicone) grease on the auto rotation one way bearing??

As Peter mentioned. Automatic Transmission Fluid will work. Don't think I would use the dielectric grease. Most pilots I would think use Tri-Flow teflon oil, or a light machine oil like 3 in 1. White lithium grease is OK also. The problem sometimes with grease is it is too thick and will not let the roller's in the bearing ramp up and down like they are suppose to. This will cause the one way to lock up and not release when it is suppose to.
Tri-Flow and 3 in 1 oil is easily obtainable. That is what I would use, plus you can use it to lubricate other moving parts on the heli.
