What grease goes inside (Nikon) lenses?

I have a Nikon Series E 75-150mm lens with a loose zoom collar. The
way to fix the loose collar is to replace the grease inside the lens.
Does anybody know what type of grease the manufactures use for this
and where I might find it?

Any help would be most appreciated,
mike
