treadmill lubrication

I am new to this, but I need help with something.

I got on my treadmill the other day, and when I place my feet to walk
the belt gets stuck. I assume I need to put some lubricant on it as I
haven't since I bought it two years ago.

My problem is it requires Performant Lube, which isn't cheap and comes
in a very small tube. I have read some negative things from people and
am wondering if there is an alternative lube I can use on it.

DOes anyone have any suggestions as to what I can use and where to get
it?

Thanks.

There probably is an alternative but without knowing wqhat's in what they
say is required, you can't do much.
I notice that the quantity is small and that may be why they want you to buy
it that way. Most people tend to overlubricate.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000EIF9S/qid=113746306...r=8-1/r

has it for 9.95 and if you buy $25.00 worth, shipping is free.

Note that the site has a couple of reviews and one indicates you may have a
loose belt.
