Another equivalent version of Teflon grease can be easily found at pool supply stores. I have become a big fan of the stuff. Just my $.02 worth.. Bruce Whitmore

Don’t put it into the bowl; rather, unscrew the pump and put it there from the back end. It should last a year or so. Any oil in your holding tank would only create clogs.

The manufacturer sells something, but suspect there is a generic cheaper alternative. I've used vegetable oil in the past, but that seems gum up the pump. A friend uses motor oil but I worry about it not being compatible with the rubber parts.
