Default Lubricants for Annual

Hello All,

I am preparing for airworthiness inspection on my 7A.

I need to perform an annual inspection prior to inspection. I'm wondering which lubricants to use on rod end bearings, flap hinges, and any other areas that may require lubrication.

As always, thanks for the valuable information you folks have provided me during this build!

In addition to Steve's suggestion of LPS2, I use Mouse Milk for exhaust joints, Dow Corning #4 for oil filter, your choice of spark plug anti-seize, Aeroshell 22 or your favorite grease for repacking wheel bearings, Fuel Lube (EZ Turn) for fuel sump drains, fuel cap o-rings and gascolator o-ring (if you have one), and of course whatever engine oil and additives you prefer.
