I agree, I've used this thicker silicone grease for all my eyedropper conversions.
This is what I use. I've been using it for about two years with zero issues. It seems to be an unlimited supply but I just ordered a new tube just in case i lose my first one.

That's a old Delta faucet -- the spout seals with 2 large o-rings. It shouldn't screech when you move it.
If you were to get a rebuild kit it would probably fix the problem. Wouldn't hurt to lube the o-rings with some food-grade lubricant.
Here are the materials I used if anyone is interested.

Silicone lubricant is the way to go! I purchased this one.
Looks like it's sold out in a lot of places.
Would this Danco 88693 Silicone Grease work?
Just today I am carrying my Vista modded to an eyedropper. You would love it!

Fully extend the legs in the up position.
Apply some lubricating grease - lightly.
Use something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DZFUPC
Lower and raise a few times. See if that helps.
If it doesn't work, Ryan is always stalking the forum and can sell you a new frame.
P.S. Also, don't just google "lubricant". At least not from work.
