Thanks to the nearby headers and the undercar airflow in a Pantera, the area 
near the trunnion gets REALLY HOT! Thats why urethane motormounts melt in 
hard-driven Panteras, and urethane typically can handle 250 F degrees....and 
they're further away from the headers than the trunnion bearing. The factory 
recommended plain motor oil, delivered with a syringe and small hose; I suggest 
synthetic motor oil, Dri-Slide used on all-weather weapons or maybe some sort of 
graphite. Whatever you use WILL be baked dry in short order.   Good luck- J
