Seems there is an infinite number of threads about building CNC machines, upgrading CNC machines and using CNC machines... but nothing about maintaining them.

Does anybody have any info/pointers for a CNC noobie?

Lubing linear slide rails? ball screws? Just WD40 or Lithium grease? Or nothing?
stepper motor maintenance?
General cleaning?
 
On my Step-four Basic-540 - used for frontplate engraving (not really dirty work):

Cleaning and oiling of guideways once a month.

Grease in trapezoids every ½ year

Re-adjustment of trapez-block tension once a year.
