grease your HU

I found out something today taking grease to your headunit is a good thing. I have a face plate that flips and I noticed that it did not allways move very smooth. So when I had it out today I took some white grease to it and after I did that I noticed that I can hardly even hear the motor and it moves very smooth now. I do not know why Kenwood would not do this since I would think it would help make the motor last longer.
