I always add a light coating of grease to the PTO splines. Keeps things from rusting and makes life easier when swapping implements.
I use Fluid Film...keeps the rust off and provides lubrication.
Although messy, it's not as messy as grease.
BTW, I spray the implement's PTO yoke (internal splines) when I disconnect the implement and keep it suspended off the ground (bungee on the 3PH frame of the implement). I do this all the time, but it's especially necessary for long term storage (such as a mower during the winter months or a snow blower that sets most of the year).
