Looks like the common denominator on these thick oils/pourable greases is t=
hat they meet the requirements of NLGI 00 standard (NLGI is National Lubri=
cating Grease Institute). This topic is a common one in the old car world =
with folks like us. The results of the use of this product, mainly lack of =
leaks on old steering boxes, is mentioned on many sites. So if you have an =
very old Chevy or a AH this stuff is helpful. Not saying that a properly re=
paired steering box can=E2=80=99t be nearly leak free but for most of us th=
is stuff will make the situation much better. Don=E2=80=99t let the term gr=
ease deter your use. It still flows to all the places that need lubricatio=
n but resists leaking out. By the way there are lots of sources for this =
stuff under many name brands and retailers. NAPA, John Deere and a multitu=
de of others. Use the NLGI 00 specs to find supplier near you.
