I have been told oil on the threads as you want to wash any dirt off the threads. Grease will hold the dirt and then act as sand paper on the threads.

 

The swivel should have the same oil.

 

The vise jaws can be covered with leather or rubber from a car hose etc. This will take up some of the misalignment.

How to straigten it up?

To be in level you can see that one is higher it is my fault i tried some "acrobation" with metalo and i somehow make higher one jaw than other. Can  bicycle oil be used. What kind of oil i don't know.

Do not adjust. Add leather or rubber to the jaws and use the vise. After a year or so you can always make modifications if they are needed.

 

 

The jaws on a post vise are NOT a perfect match due to the design of the vise. Small stock is shown in the top image where it grips the stock at the middle of the metal. Large stock shown in the bottom image grips the stock at the bottom of the metal.

 

You have a bench vise but the idea is similar.
