Are you having some kind of issue that's making you want to do this?

I coated my XL's FCU in Otis dry lube after cleaning it but ultimately it was unnecessary. The reason i had my FCU apart was because the trigger pull was not smooth like my standard model's trigger pull was.

It turned out not to be the FCU at all. It was the striker. Polishing the finish off the striker block may have helped, but replacing the striker smoothed it right up.

Unless there's a problem to fix leave the FCU alone imo.

Then there's no need to pull the fcu apart to lube it, is all I'm saying.

I clean my FCU down with CLP, blow out all that I can with a compressor and put it back in the module. The light coating of oil makes me feel better and makes it easier to clean after range time but it’s not nearly enough to gum up the works. You can’t even feel it.

I was messing with my 365 a couple days ago and wanted to try this. The FCU was pretty nasty and while I was at it I cleaned out the striker channel. It was pretty nasty too. So I went to the auto supply and got some Brakleen and then went to the gun store next door and picked up some Otis dry lube. They also had some gun cleaner by Lucas Oil that I bought. It works about like the brake cleaner does. I have never use the brake cleaner on a gun before and I guess still won't. The Lucas stuff worked good. I first flushed it with some WD40 ( I know OH NO) Then I blew it out with air. Then flushed it with the Lucas gun cleaner and then air. Then shot it with the Otis dry lube and let dry. I took it out today and the trigger seemed real smooth. I will see how it holds up. I like the idea of the dry lube if it works good. I looked on the can of Lucas cleaner to see what was in it. No harsh chemicals like the brake cleaner. The brake cleaner is a bunch of those xxx-lene chemicals that if you lived in California you would die in a couple of days or have cancer. I used to use some of those chemicals at work to clean grease off of stuff and wash my hands.
