Just make sure it doesn't drip (separate) . ATE plastilube doesn't drip and it was cheap to buy when I bought it and is nlgi 2, unfortunately too thick for some applications, but for turret head it should be ok. As it is not a very sensitive place for choosing viscosity.

Thanks! Also, do you know of any way to get a replacement detent piece that holds the objective turret head in place?

I don't, you can tell us which microscope is in question, so someone might have something to suggest.
