The official statement from the product team is:
"No lubricant or grease can be recommended because users have to remove not only the faceplace but also other inner structures for applying lubricants. If they do such things, the unit may not be covered by warranty."
Sorry guys!

Did you really say this @Pulse?
We have to open the mixer to change the bumpers of the crossfader anyways, a description to this is in the manual and Pioneer designed the mixer to be openend and the bumpers to be changed to our own preferences.
Cleaning the faders and put some lubricants on is a basic maintenance move for every DJ out there.
And now you guys come with the warranty speach? Really? When you even tell us to open the housing and replace things that you put in. Really?
Paint comes of, Midi is a joke and now this! So this is Pioneer?
They know you can swap the bumpers, what they don't want you doing is removing the faders (channel or crossfader). I'm just passing along what they've told me.
And what problems are you having with the MIDI?
The same problems you can read allover the web.
Deleting all old xml files and recreate all my other mappings, just because of how the S9 acts up, cost a lot of time and I never had to do this with any other (Midi) mixer I had before, not for the Vestax 05-Pro IV and not for any of the Rane mixers.
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around and they want me to remove the faders, at least the line faders. Really don't understand why they use different faders in here. All three faders should be the same like Rane does it. Once the crossfader on my Sixty-Two caused some trouble, I just openend the mixer in the club, while music keept playing and put took one of the linefaders out and used it as a crossfader, while the broken crossfader was used as a linefader. Looked crazy for the crowd, seeing me with a screwdriver and doing this within just a few seconds, but at least the sound didn't went out and the music keept playing fine.
I haven't had any reports of it here and I don't exactly have time to troll the web for problems elsewhere. If it's truly a problem, let's hear about it and get the engineers on it. Complaining on another site won't get the answers you'll get here.
As for the faders, they don't use the same line faders as cross fader because the cross fader is a different design and significantly more expensive.
