For my P1S I have just used the included stuff so far. Back with my Ender 3 Pro I got some of this based on recommendations at the time:
Superlube

As above. If you need something thinner they also sell an a oil variant, but pretty much any PTFE synthetic grease should be fine.

I was just about to link the same item that IanAG did so glad I checked first.
That's what I lube my lead screws on my X1C with.

i thought its not good to use grease that has a petroleum base with anything that has rubbers or plastics in contact with it? i can see my one has some white grease that has a light viscosity compared to car wheel bearing grease so i think it might be silicone grease?

Used all of them and all work fine - lithium grease and superlube have used for about four years. Other point is I really wouldn't worry too much, need a tiny amount incredibly rarely (eg I've got a MK3S that I've had for about 5 years and has been in almost daily use, but greased once - still prints like a champ)

wet lube bike chain oil or basic grease for my screws and rails.
dry lube would pick up less dust.

Its also far noisier and results in less smooth motion.

I use a white lithium grease, bought a huge tube that'll last me years.
does make a difference, I tend to regrease every two-three weeks
