Almost any grease that will hold the needles in place during assembly will do. It will be gone in a few seconds after the first run.

Lubriplate No 105.

Hurry though rumors say it may not be manufactured any more.

I have even hear vasoline. I just did mine and the needles have enough grease on them to hold them in place. Keep the cardboard attached and just roll/wrap the needles around the wrist pin.
