Landing Gear Lube?

We have a 2014 Crusader 330 MKS and I wondering if any of you guys lube the landing gear? If so, what do you use and how often? I was thinking of using graphite because it is dry and may prohibit dirt and grime from building up in the housing.
Thoughts?

I'm using the "dry" silicone spray. Seems to work well on my electric stabilizers and doesn't collect dirt.

I have a 2014 Sanibel. The recommended lube/protectant is silicone spray. I spray mine every so often when parked for very long and have had no trouble so far.

I don't worry much about the legs themselves but there are grease fittings at the top end (i.e. the final gear train) of the legs in the trunk. I give them a few shots of regular wheel bearing grease once a year.
