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.

...may be too thick to provide easy movement of the laser assembly on the rails. Even if it works for awhile it may eventually dry up and cause problems. Back when I had a CD-63 and needed to lube the rails I used a low viscosity oil that worked very well. Watchmakers oil would be my recommendation along with some of the others (gun, fishing reel and sewing machine oils) already mentioned.

I'd still be wary of lithium grease. It may work for awhile, but may eventually dry up and create problems later. I'd favor a very light oil that will allow the laser assembly to run smoothly with a minimum of error correction. First clean any residue on the rails with a solvent or alcohol then lightly apply the lubricant with a Q-Tip. After applying the lubricant it helps to put in a disk with 75-80 mins. of music on it and track it from beginning to end a few times to distribute the lubricant the length of the rails.
Agreed. That makes the most sense. Good job!
