I have been using straight STP for years, but I think that this Corn Head Grease would be as good, or better. I plan to try it next time.
Thanks for posting that video !

Try straight STP or PowerPunch and you will think you have power steering.

On leaking gear boxes, that is kind of like having nothing wrong medically but using depends because you are too lazy to go to the bathroom.
