Thanks for all responses.
Regards,
There are three oils that are approved by Mavic for use in their hubs:
1. Mavic Mineral
2. Pedro's Road Rage
3. Phil's Tenacious
3-in-1 is really not close to the correct viscosity. It's too thin.
Do NOT use any kind of teflon based lube as they have the effect of polishing the freehub bushing, and you do not want to do that. Road Rage is available for less than $5/bottle.
