Lube what? Never lube the pole for the auto opener. If you have - then clean it off thoroughly, and after a week or two go back and clean it again, as residual grease/oil in the carriage will have smeared all over the pole again. Don't worry about the chain. CRC 656 (blue can not red can) is better than the standard (red) 556 for lubing hinges on sectionals, bushes on tilt arms (some have a lube hole on the top of the bush - make sure it's cleaned out, then lube it, wheels (centre bearing and bush where they slot into a sectional door hinge). In a manual tilt with locks spray the locks. Spray over springs on the pole above the door on a sectional, and the top of the spring where it loops over the bolt on the arm a tilt (and bush if there is one there). You could also spray the thread on the bottom hook - they rust up. The stuff sold as garage door lubricant is much the same as the 656 grade but smells nicer (rose perfume LOL). 556 and WD40 grade is okay - but won't last long. For rollers, use silicone spray on the tracks.
