I agree Arvid, just about any grease will do I'm sure unless your chuck manufacturer specifies a specific type. I chose to use a Moly grease myself for it's high pressure rating and the added lubricating properties of Molybdenum itself. I may be a bit biased on that because Molybdenum Disulfide powder is a staple in my reloading gear. It makes projectiles slick as snot when impact plated into the jackets. It really reduces friction.
I've seen YouTube videos of people coating the inside of a chuck with anti-seize compound and then talk about how stiff it was to operate. Go figure...
My 3 jaw is a Bison chuck that has a ball oiler on the face of the chuck that takes care of the scroll. If I see chips starting to gather in the scroll or chuck jaws I'll pull the jaws and brush everything out. An occasional shot of way oil into the oiler keeps things turning freely.
