Can you expand on why “yes” is a valid answer?

Can doesn’t mean should

That’s a useless answer though (assuming the person I replied to is thinking the same as you) because that doesn’t address what OP is really asking.

While yes he can lube switches with it, he should just get Krytox instead. Makes more sense now?

If OP attached a photo of vegetable oil instead of dielectric grease, replying with “could but shouldn’t” is as absurd.

Well that’s different cause you definitely can lube with superlube but vegetable oil definitely can’t used as a lube

Because it depends on how heavy the switch is and how much op uses, the heavier the switch the less chance of it getting stuck, i guess i should have explained, but it was late

Are you telling me that it's ok for someone to buy and use dielectric grease to lube their switch provided the springs are heavy enough? Isn't that just bad advice?
