Well... good on you too for finding an appropriate grease! Once you get access to the rails and moving parts, check for dried out and gummy old grease and clean it out of there before adding new lube.
If you can't find lithium grease, search for cd transport lubricants. People have had sucess with gun, fishing reel and sewing machine oils. I've had good results with sewing machine oil.
So long as compatible with plastics.
