I don't know what the "correct" lubricant would be, but I know what I would use. I'd use either "super Lube" - a silicone grease - or Fluid Film - a lanolin grease because they are the best for the application that I happen to have on hand. I'd MOST likely use the SuperLube

A teflon dry lube won't attract dust or stain your box like oil .

second superlube. It's cheap, clear and drawers are not anything precision. Superlube does separate easily so, don't over do it or you'll get oil creep.
