No, the slider on the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3400 does not need to be lubed. The saddle, jaws, polyurethane bushings, and coupler surface are the only components that need to be lubed according to the owner's manual.
You'll want to use a white lithium grease like item # L11354.

Thank you Jerred! I read the instructions but thought they may have left that out.But seeing it now you wouldn't want to lube those because it'll just attract dirt and debris.Thanks again!
