Default KC Side Gears - Lube or no lube?

Hi all,

I used to grease my side gears on my KF2. Are others doing this on the KC? Instructions don't mention lubrication.

Black grease stops the noise nicely

it does say to lube them with the black grease, but i used some gear grease called 'DryFluid Gear Grease'

Works great and keeps the side gears quiet. Also the gearbox on my KD.
