I have a Mitutoyo caliper that is getting sluggish to open. Not smooth as it was. I cleaned out the visible track gear but do not want to use any oil. Even Hobo. Any suggestions to clean it? Flush with lighter fluid? Anything else?

I use a rag and rubbing alcohol to clean mine. Well I use 100%ipa but same thing with no water. The calibration is very recommended.
Try a very fine steel wool on the edges. Mine now operate smoother than they have operated in years. Some light oil helps.I have a Mitutoyo caliper that is getting sluggish to open.
