My main point is that if you are going to use either, it doesn’t matter which. If you want to remove all the old grease…not a good idea in my opinion…use a spray solvent that doesn’t contain oil, then use a spray oil. Or, if you want to keep it simple, use either spray lube and leave it at that. Doing multiple steps doesn’t make for better lubrication.
