I'm able to find the Lucas locally pretty much everywhere, but it's only available in the grease gun tube and that's not optimal for storage. I came across a couple products at Autozone, and I'm wondering if you guys (Ultramaroon?) think that they are equivalent the ones listed above. One is a STP product, and one is Autozone brand but I suspect it's a rebrand of the STP because they're awfully similar. I took a couple pictures and compared them to the Lucas, they all mention similar important-sounding terms like "extreme pressure", "high temp", "lithium", and "polymers". To my not-knowing-any-better eye, they seem like they should be the same thing/equivalent, but I really don't know how to make that call with confidence (especially since I have no clue what Nichimoly N-130 is).
Yay? Nay?

Any will be fine because you will be removing what's left of the old grease but I see the magic words 'lithium complex' on the can of STP.
That being said, I used the Valvoline equivalent last year. The fork is still quiet but the quill and TOB bushing are gummed up and binding again. :/

VeloxEric recommends Sil-Glyde. I have an old tube and will try it next. If you go with this, remember that this is a different compound. The OE grease must first be completely removed.
