Here is a screenshot of the 2013-2021 Versa rear brake lubrication points. Thought it might come in handy for someone. More points than I'd expect.

Notice that the adjuster gets lubed only at the ends.

Yes, and that point is a very important one. :dblthumb:

The reason is, those star wheels live in a bath of brake dust. Any lube that leaves a film (even light lube like CRC or PB Blaster) will eventually cake dust in the mechanism and prevent the adjuster from working freely. The only high-tech lube I'm aware of that might be usable is dry silicone, but that can damage certain rubber parts. So without undue risk, your best course is just to clean the adjuster threads thoroughly and call it good.
