What lubricant does Sony use for the PS3 analog stick?

My warranty has expired on my controllers, and I'm looking to take them apart and replace the lubricant since they are sticking/squeaky. I would like to use the best lubricant for this which is why I'm wondering what lubricant Sony uses?

For my ps2 controllers I used rubbing alcohol to fix that issue. They both work great and I have had the same system and controllers since 1998.(Still use today)

I just used one similar to WD-40 and the results are fantastic.

Just spray a single quick shot on the top of the stick (make sure it reaches the internals), and wiggle it in circular directions for a minute.

I also used a dust-remover spray to remove lubricant excess...let it sit for 5 minutes to "dry" and that's it!

All functional again! Give it a try!
