Question Oil VS Grease on O/U Shotgun Hinges

Ok ,I guess I will start another argumentative thread .Everybody has there preference on this and specific reasons why. What do you use on your O/U Shotgun hinge pins and friction bearing surfaces Oil or Grease? I myself use a clear silicone grease called Sil-Glyde .The reason being oil wipes away too quickly and is too thin to keep high pressure friction bearing surfaces lubricated for a long enough length of time, say what it takes to shoot five rounds of trap or doubles. I have used oil and found no matter what kind by the time I have made it to the end of the third round of trap things start to tighten up a bit some guns are already worn so this is not so noticeable but on newer guns it is extremely noticeable. Also have seen the damage done on some shotguns where only oil was used, bearing surfaces were gouged and grooved from lack of proper lubrication.So here goes what do you all use? Roy
