Hi, What is a good lubricant for the wheels supporting the drum in a clothes dryer? I am replacing the belt and as long as the dryer is taken apart, I might as well lubricate the wheels (rollers). The rollers have a steel axle and what looks like brass on the contact part of the roller. My rollers are the same as these:

The description says "As the bearing in the roller wears, it self-lubricates so no grease is needed." But I seek the advice of you lubrication experts. They roll a lot better after removing 10 years of hair and lint.
5w30 ?
75w90 gear oil?
Grease? (I have Lucas Red N Tacky #2, Mystik JT-6 Hi-Temp. Lith. Complex #2, and SuperLube synthetic grease.)
