Grease For B&W Companion Sliding 5th Wheel HItch

Question

Question:

I have a companion fifth wheel hitch for my 2022 F250. Last weekend I could not get the hitch to slide aft to the maneuvering position. I assume it needs to be lubricated. What Lubricant do you recommend for the slider and other moving parts on this hitch? Thanks
