Dry graphite powder is a very good lubricant for plastic parts. I have a 40-50 year old tube of "Mr. Zip" in my garage, likely not made anymore. I use it on my Hot Wheels car wheels that have rusted to make them spin freely again.
I'm not sure I'd put any kind of liquid in a vacuum, because it would draw dust and dirt into it, and then form a paste and gum it all up. |

For clarity, the original post is about how to tighten up swivel bits that have become worn and loose. |
