This stuff (NGLI 00) is a Polyurea based grease. It has the characteristic =
of clinging to moving parts, but is highly cohesive  and and resistant to f=
low. There are some videos on line that show it working in open or poorly s=
ealed gear boxes with no tendency to shear from the gears or to leak from t=
he gear box or through the seals.

I've had a problem sealing the layers of the shim pack on the front of my s=
teering box. Even Penrite seems to go right through them. I bought some of =
the NGLI 00 from NAPA and I'm using it in my steering box and on my wheel s=
plines. so far so good.

Listers

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=92t be nearly leak free but for most of us this stu=
ff will make the situation much better. Don=92t let the term grease deter y=
our use.  It still flows to all the places that need lubrication but resist=
s leaking out.   By the way there are lots of sources for this stuff under =
many name brands and retailers.  NAPA, John Deere and a multitude of others=
.  Use the NLGI 00 specs to find supplier near you.

Penrite comes in grease gun cartridges.

I replace the filler with a 1/4 bsp nipple to fill
