aha, snake oil - check for ZIF (zero insertion force) connector design file that usually comes with recommendation of what kind of lubricant you should use (apply very thin layer - pricy one usually is better - not because it is more effective, but the MFG chaps care to use as little as "possible"). https://books.google.ca/booksid=_ghEDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1254&lpg=PA1254&dq=lubricant+for+zero+insertion+force+connector&source=bl&ots=dn83is-fUl&sig=ACfU3U139c-xjy8uyroH5lhs01En7IZZpg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi47vuD9b3nAhVDaM0KHQ11CdMQ6AEwAHoECAYQAQ
