first hot water cartridge leaks on lav sink, then the cold.
both replaced.
now the other lav sink has a stiff cold water faucet.
It's a Am Standard.
Is it the handle or the cartridge or both that needs a vinegar clean and some silicon grease?

I'd probably replace the cartridge, I assume it is the same vintage as the other sink so it is probably doe for a leak

When I found a HD employee that was knowledgeable about faucet cartridges, he pressed a grease tube into my hands and gave me a lecture about not having a yearly maintenance schedule for lubricating all my faucets.

I’m not touching that subject line!

the cartridge is considerably newer, but AS is no longer what it was if it ever was.

Grease the threads, O ring or handle or all?

If you’re going for the lube, then go all the way.

The orings need the silicone grease.

oh well. It's a ped sink. Even with a telescoping basin wrench, it's just too tight to get my hands in there. I'd have to take the ped out completely to make a valve change or lube.
americant stoopid just makes the worst designed crap, even today. I dunno how I got talked into their line by my spouse instead of Kohler which was way better designed for service.
Haven't tried one, but the Deltas look to be the smart install/maint now.

It's her sink anyway. She'll have to do with stiff.
See what I did there DeusxMac?
