Only valve that gets lubed is the toilet seal with coconut oil (why it's called oil is beyond me--it's a solid grease about the consistency & feel of Crisco). Have never put anything down any of the drains to lube any of the tank valves. Every year as part of winterizing & de-winterizing spray the valve open/shut rod guide tubes with silicone and work them a bit. Do the slides with silicone same time. Haven't had any problems yet.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I like the idea above, but it would be nice to better understand the exact location of the screw lubrication hole.
Another thing to consider is always avoid the ethylene glycol rv antifreeze which is cheaper and causes the rubber valves to dry out because of its alcohol content.
You want to look for the propylene glycol rv antifreeze which will help the valves little bit with lube.

Same here, but it's only been 36 years for me not lubing any valves.

How would you "lube" them in the first place??
Dump the tanks, close the dump valves, dump in a quart of vegetable oil, open and close the dump valves rapidly a few times to spread it around
^Are you serious?
