Tushy,
the only restriction is MoS-based greases since the mast isn't air-tight and thus is exposed to the atmosphere and sulfur + water gives you a sulphuric acid which is good for most car batteries, but not for the antenna mast.
I'd go with either some lithium-based grease or gearbox oil (e.g. GL4 80W90). As for the viscosity grade, then it depends on where you're (TX or NU) and whether it's an all-year car or winter beater or summer sunny-day cruiser.
