I wouldn't use an oil, but a like a gel lubricant. Go to Honda, they can give the stuff you need for it to work just like stock.

Use white lithium grease. Oil is probably too thin.

Yeah, grease is the Japanese vendors favorite. They used to put it all over prototype parts they sent over for me at my old job. I noticed some on my sunroof rails when I first got it.

BTW, you can get white lithium grease at any hardware store or autoparts shop. Dirt cheap and that tub you get will last you the rest of your life most likely.

Clean the tracks of any dirt with a paper towel or Q-tips, then put a nice healthy layer of the WLG on the tracks. Solved my slow moving sunroof, no problems since.

That's the advantage of the WLG over WD40 or other liquids. Since it's a grease, it will remain on the tracks longer. It doesn't evaporate or run off. Just less hassle IMO, that's all. Both methods will work, however.

Honda sells cans of Silicone Spray, it works REALLY well, and lasts about 6-10 months per spray.
