Reiss Gunson from LONDINIUM sent me the new grease that he likes best of all after he did a lot of research and trials. It's Loxeal Grasso Silicone #4 with PTFE. It's said to be better even than the famous Molykote #111 grease.
For me it was a good reason to clean the group and change the rubber seals. I had renewed the bottom seal of the piston a while ago but now I changed them all for fresh ones.
