Grease or oil in the de-dion tube?

I'm hopiing to re-assemble the de-dion tube from my car next week. I've been told that some of the later cars had a greased tube rather than oil filled and that I should grease mine instead of oiling it so I don't suffer from leaks.

I'm just a bit doubtful as to whether the grease will lubricate it as efficiently and how much to put in. Anyone know anything about it or have a later car with the greased de-dion tube?

Thanks John :) I suppose I can't remember it leaking but then again it might not have had much oil left in it anyway!
