I have 2 DSS wings and 1 oxy wing. The latter actually belongs to my girlfriend. I do the basic maintenance of soaking them after a dive, putting water into the inner bladder, shaking it up, draining, inflating the wing almost full (but not completely so as not to put undue pressure on the seams) and leaving to dry over night. When I get back from a dive trip I only unscrew the dump and inflator valves and dry them off as some water tends to end up there.

My questions: Should also put silicone grease on the o-ring at the base of the corrugated hose? Should I lube some parts of the dump valve? Should I put WD-40 on the spring of the dump valve? Should I take the power inflator apart and do something to it as well? Anything else?
 
Good questions. I'm going to be buying my 1st bp/w shortly, so I'm looking forward to seeing the answers you get.
