what exactly are you wanting to lube?

i use white lithium spray on all the latches and hinges. there's not much on the suspension that is "serviceable" unless boots are torn or bushings worn out. i've found silicone spray helps keep rubber parts from drying and cracking. especially CV boots

if you had anything else in mind list it out and i can try to get some more in-depth info for you.

i use the spray on any rubber part on the car (except belts and tires). i've been using it for 4-5 years now. my testing isn't scientific... but everything is in great shape still. especially considering 14 years and 230k miles of abuse.

even if it doesn't really work as a "conditioner" it won't hurt anything, it keeps stuff clean and looking new and it's only $3 a can.

If you're wanting to condition rubber seals and what not you can purchase Shin-Etzu grease from your Honda dealer.

The S2000 guys use it on all the rubber trim around the soft top and frame of the car. I have used it on that as well as around all my door rubber seals on my Accord.
