Damping fluid/grease for Mayware Unipivot?


Does anyone know something about the damping fluid used in the Mayware unipivots? Ideally I would like to know the viscosity if anyone has a full specification for one of the arms.

I have had a google and found a recommendation to use olive oil (usually a fairly thin viscous liquid) but the users manual refers to a grease (usually a much more viscous gunge). Hmmm. Can anyone who has actually seen the damping fluid supplied with one of the arms describe its thickness/viscousity relative to olive oil or grease.

Many thanks.

When I had my first Hadcock I was told that STP worked well. A tip I've heard is that radio-controlled model shops sell silicone damping fluid which is identical to hifi silicone fluid - apart from a more realistic price tag.
