Silicone is a product that is worshiped here as - almost - a cure-all for every household fix-er-up-er.
I have one quote here, taken at random from a web search:
Typically, lubricants based on silicone, PFAE (perflourinated), most synthetic hydrocarbons (SHC or PAO), or mineral oils work well with plastics.
What would happen, in your opinion, if a mineral-based oil were used?
