There's little lateral pressure on the ram but there is potential wear, that's why some lubrication is a good idea.Very little stress on the ram, just keep it clean to keep alignment correct. Stress is on the pivots where grease needs to be applied. Of course, no zircs there.
Grease on the higher pressure pivot points is a good idea but lighter 30 Weight oil on the ram is just there to reduce potential wear from that part moving in the bore.
And by "zircs" I assume that you mean "Zerks" ? as in a Zerk fitting.
