You get oil filled nylon, which is nylon with oil added as a filler, that self lubricates but the oil can disappear with time, so adding more oil will improve it if it dries out.citronut wrote:copper slip/grease is realy for use were there is high temprature, i always smear a very little trace on the gear box input shaft splines and thrust bearing guide tube/sleave,
also i have always been told nylon is self lubricating

In fact it's much more complicated that that! Materials that are generally referred to as nylon, as in nylon bearing, may well be some other engineering plastic - even when white! Then there is a bewildering range of nylon grades, many of which can be filled with a host of materials: glass powder and fibres (glass-filled nylon), 'inert' fillers like chalk and talc (both mildly abrasive), solid lubricants like molybdenum disuphide ('moly'), graphite and PTFE (Teflon), 'solid' mineral lubricants (greases), liquid lubricants (silicone and mineral). To confuse the issue, some of the self-lubricated plastics products are covered by patents and have proprietary names.You get oil filled nylon, which is nylon with oil added as a filler, that self lubricates but the oil can disappear with time, so adding more oil will improve it if it dries out.
