I've heard various recommendations on what to use to lubricate tension rod threads. Is there a consensus as to what works best?
Thanks!

I like a 3-in-1 (sewing machine) type of oil. Just a few drops and you're golden. But I will defer to the experts.
I put a dab of vasoline into the insert before threading the rod in...The rod gets an even coat this way...Normally when I do a deep cleaning/tear down of the drum, I will clean out any excess dirty vasoline because that collects...

I use Super Lube oil. It's a synthetic Teflon-bearing lube that will never dry out or solidify. Pricier than traditional lubes, but so much better.
Tri-Flow similiar to what JrFrond described. Teflon based lube
Tri-Flow isn't too bad about collecting dirt, at least from my experiences with using it on bicycles.
I'm also using Tri-Flow. Used it for years with no problems. A little goes a long way!
White lithium grease from the tube. Available from the Depot or any auto parts store.
$3.00 worth will last years. Easy to apply from the tube..."a little dab will do ya".
Cheers!
