Default Lube Marelli Dizzy?

I'm currently elbows deep in a distributor cap, rotor button, plug, plug wire replacement. Took the V all apart, I'm getting it nice and clean. Question becomes, should I lubricate the rotor in the distributor? It's a Marelli car, so there's not much literature on what you should or should not do with that distributor. Everything pertaining to lubrication is with the Lucas one. Help!

Nope. No lubrication there please! The Marelli dizzy already has issues with arcing so I'd avoid anything that could cause current to flow... The dizzy gets it's lube from below.
