    So I'm assuming there is a special silicone or teflon lube for the All Pro UCA. The problem is I can't find anything on there website for what I should use. So my question is....what should I be using for my All Pro UCA?

    Just make sure it has PTFE in it which Super Lube, Tri-Flow, etc... has for the bushings and uniballs.

    The best method for uni-ball treatment seems to be superlube/tri-flow before instal, then add a little more over the next few days of driving for it to really work itself in there, then "seal it" in with Boeing T-9 or Fluid Film when you're done driving for the day or weekend, that stuff will dry to a waxy substance that doesn't attract much dust or dirt and keeps things water resistant. Also make sure you grease your polyurathane bushings with white lithium grease.

    Do NOT use MP or the like.

    Super lube / T-9 seems to have the slight edge over Tri-Flow / Fluid Film but both do a good job.

    This is from research here, other sites, and my own experience with All-Pro Uniball uppers on my 2010.

    I hit mine with tri flow as much as I can remember, so I just keep it behind the seat.
    I grease them up when I do my oil change and recharge my air filter, makes it easier as part of a routine
