ink jet

Hello everyone! :frow I was wondering if it is possible to re-lubricate the carriage guide rail on my ET-8550? If it is possible, I have two main questions: What type of lubricant is recommended What is the best application method? Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Does anyone have an opinion on this book? https://www.amazon.com/Fine-Art-Inkjet-Printing-Digital/dp/1681982064/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1505442203&sr=1-2-fkmr1&keywords=refilling+canon+ink
