DeOxit (contact cleaner designed specifically for potentiometers) is what most people are recommending, not WD40 or dielectric grease..
Preferably DeOxit Gold, or at least not their (Hosa’s) Fader Lube.

Thanks Alpha Dimension for your disassembly guide.
If one needs to change it, it’s a Bourns potentiometer and its complete reference is PTD904-1020K-A103 (I’ve checked with measures on the potentiometer of my Level Pilot and with the PDF reference here : https://www.bourns.com/docs/product-data…)
