Nice.
At least you're putting something on there. I use grease on the bikes that come in largely because it's probably going to be a long while befroe they get messed with and the grease will tend to stay in place longer. For those of us who actually do routine maintenance of a more than cursory nature Oil works fine. Have you tried Phil's Tenacious Oil? That stuff is great.
