    Hi thanks for your reply, but can you tell me what do you mean by silicone. The only silicone I know is silicone I use for sealing around showers and such. I was told I should use silicone oil but cant track it down where I live. A guy in one of the shops gave me this lubricant instead.

    Halfords, Motor Factor shops, sewing machine shops all sell 100% silicone spray or liquid.
    I'm not sure what dry film lubricant is, but if you are going to use it check with the manufacturer of your treadmill.
