I used a NAPA additive, I think the brand name was X-Track or something like that. It's a good idea to use the additive as an assembly lube when putting the sure-grip unit together.

There was an EMPTY can of this that sold on eBay for 25$ or so some time ago !!! The last time I picked up a SG pig at the JY ...I drained and SAVED the lube ... very VERY stinky skunk-oil ! I still have it to use in my next project. But the closest I have seen to that old-lube is Mobil-1 syn gear-lube.

It was clearly advertised as empty ...and from the pic ... looked VERY sharp and clean. ??... Maybe he just wanted to crack-open the can once a month and get a good wiff of that SKUNK-oil.
