If you can only have 1.....ok 2
There’s only so much room for tools and such for any of us to keep the toolkit we want before weight becomes an issue......
What’s your choice....WD-40, Silicone spray, Lithium grease, Graphite spray?
What say you?

WD-40. Thanks for the post. You reminded me I need duct tape.

WD-40 because it does everything "OK". the rest have a specific purpose. WD-40 is a Water Displacing formula, and dissolves things. good for lots of things. it is not specifically a lubricant, but does sort of work for that.
you can carry one big bottle of something, or a few little bottles of everything! if you look hard enough you will find the trial/travel sizes!

I use them at home so I don’t have to carry them. Minimal tools as well, but an air pump along with a deep socket for the TT lugs & breaker bar.

Dry silicone spray and lithium grease.
If I need a penetrating spray, I buy it as needed.

I cannot count the times I have lifted the hood of the vehicle and used a few drops of motor oil from the dipstick. No need to carry lubricating oil.
The engine has never complained about being a few drops short.

I have more room so I carry them all, but if forced to choose:
PTFE dry lube for a spray, and white lithium grease in a tube.
PTFE is not the right choice for everything, but it's clean and dry for things like bed slides in my PUP, drawer slides, etc. Since this is your road kit, you can use the right stuff when home.
The waterproof white lithium grease is indispensable in wet situations such as stairs, hitch balls, and so on. But this little guy will keep you going in a pinch.

WD40 and silicone spray. WD is great for displacing water and breaking things loose. Silicon for lubrication

Think this thread has run off the rails a bit.
