The factory specifies using Dow Corning 111 lubricant in the Cremina. No other lubricant should be used. Factory gasket sets include this lubricant. It should be used very lightly on the piston seals, the piston shaft, the piston shaft seal, the inside walls of the cylinder, the bore for the piston shaft, the portafiler seal and lastly, on the O ring seal of the steam valve.

I've added a note to my earlier Jiffy Lube posting, passing on this advice. The Factory gasket set does contain a tiny vial of lubricant.
