Stiction in the yoke

What do you guys use on your yokes? Is there anything that lasts longer
than silicone spray that (a) doesn't stain carpet, (b) doesn't stink to
high
heaven, and (c) doesn't leave particulate matter behind?

This stuff: Dupont Teflon Silicone spray lubricant.

This appears to be the same stuff I'm using.

Or does it have a special attribute that makes it more long lasting?

You using the DuPont brand that has both Teflon and Silicone?

There are some of these kinds of sprays that are Silicone only.
I've found that the DuPont spray with Teflon plus Silicone lasts
longer on my yokes and seat rails, and the Prestone brand of "high
viscosity formula" silicone-only spray in the bright yellow cans works
best on oleo strut legs and control surface hinges.

You using the DuPont brand that has both Teflon and Silicone?

Well, duh. I didn't see the Teflon part of the equation...

Sounds like a good buy. I'll pick some up and give it a whirl...

I believe that Piper recommends Parker O-Ring Lube for those models
where a lubricant is recommended. Parker O-Ring Lube is available at
the large aviation supply houses, but I'm not sure what makes it
different than DC4, which is what I use.

Parker O-Ring Lube (at least the tube in my tool box) is very
sticky/stringy stuff.

I really wouldn't recommend it to lubricate the yokes in a Cherokee
(we always used LPS1 or Tri-Flow)

Well, I've never seen it in person or used it, but that's what Piper
recommends in the PA-28-181 maintenance manual, at least.
