My freehub went very quiet so I opened up the hub and it looks like it's because it's got a bit gungey in there. I have some IPA I can wash it out with but wondering what I should replace it with? I have synthetic chain oil, fork oil and teflon grease. Will any of them do?

Cheers.

I use the pink stuff I have in my garage for my hope hub. Think it is Finish line teflon.

It worked ok and the hub didn't explode. I've used motor oil on my road bike freehub and that is also ok. No doubt there are hub specific greases but it'll probably only be the label that is different.
