I've used spray white grease, but i still go back to the old faithful little oil can and pump it into the gaps, then wipe clean

If you want a clicky freewheel thats pawls engage quickly (but they wear out quicker) then use sewing machine oil.
For a quite freewheel use grease, you can smear it in the gap on the freewheel and turn the wheel after every smear, coats the insides (a lot of grease can result in the pawls not engaging all the time though).

Also, you can mix grease and oil to get a lube with a consistency of your choice  :daumenhoch:
