Should I grease the axis (pictures) & rent-a-grease

Snapmaker J1

Hey
I got my J1 mid 04/2023 from 3DJake, it printed so far out of the box.
But I read everywhere that I should grease the axis.
Here are some pictures. For me it looks like newer (green) rails?!
I also got the recommendations for the grease.

BTW has anyone in germany grease over? So we can share it and spend just the porto instead of everybody buying a hole tube.
Like Rent-a-grease. The owner gets for every usage some bucks and the tube is send to the next one. Opinions?

And by the way, yes you need definitely to grease them first

The green rails as you have seem to be pre-greased properly as far as I know. But you should get your own grease nevertheless. You will need to relubricate them anyway in regular intervals.
