Default treat the inside of the bell crank?

In the same vein as this thread should the inside of the aileron bellcrank tubes be treated in some way? Primer, grease, etc. The directions don't say to do anything but I think we might be expected to know at this point...and I really don't

Yes, I beieve that oil is recommended and what I used. Be sure to re-lube at annual time. Some use grease, but it will dry up over time with no easy way to disassemble to clean and re-grease.

Per the manual (RV-7) -- "Lubricate the bushing with your favorite grease when
assembling for the final time."

I used Aeroshell-5...

Cheers,
