I believe it was Gil who suggested 5-20 Mobil One synthetic oil...same as used in cars.  When I am dry running, I just squirt some of that on parts that would have been in contact with steam...but avoiding as best I can letting it reach the boiler.

I do the same thing, with the same stuff, for the same reason, from the person who also suggested it ,😉
