I use inox. It’s versatile for lubricating and for protecting electrical curcuits. Don’t use the aerosol cans.

Nylon gears are not affected by ordinary oils and greases. Basic household oil (3-in-1 etc.) is good for motor bearing and will do most jobs on your locos. But if you want to be safer on plastic gears, you could use a tiny smidgin of silicon grease, which is very inert.
