There is a downside to petroleum jelly as well, it melts and breaks down at under high loads and high revs.

Sorry but one downside of using some automatic transmission fluids is that are are excellent paint removers.

I have tried many lubricants, some with success and some without.
Have settled on Automotive ATF; cheap, no viscous drag and readily available.
Must qualify this by advising all my models have oiler tubes and oil every time the boat is used.

My favorite shaft lube is petroleum jelly. It is insoluble in water and safe for human contact (also has a myriad of medicinal uses).
Previously, I used oils and greases, including marine types, but found the petroleum jelly works great and not very messy.

I have used Castrol Water Pump Grease since I was a youth. I have even run 12000 RPM plus I.C. Engines pushing coarse power props, never had an issue.

I have posted this formula many times, I make no claim for originality as that lies with Ron Dean of Deans Marine.
Formula,
One part each of WD40, vaseline, 3 in 1 oil.
Mix it up and suck it up into the tube via some clear tubing. I can tell you now it does not taste very nice.
