Even better: Look in the service manual for the airplane and use the recommended lubricants, in the recommended way. LPS not only goes gummy after a while and no longer lubricates, it also gets sprayed on stuff it needs to avoid. I've had to take electric flap actuators out and spend hours cleaning them out; most are a recirculating-ball screw mechanism, and gummed-up lube stops the balls and can gall up the screw. Spray lubes also get into the travel limit microswitches, and sooner or later the flaps go dead. Flaps that won't retract on a 150 in an overshoot could kill you.
