Imagine my confusion 
(a normal state of mind for me) to see the term "Skippy" referred to in relation to lubricant in a differential. In Australia the term "Skippy" has been adopted to refer to Kangaroos generally, this followed the success of the late '60's TV show Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. But my faith in Skippy remaining a cultural Aussie icon, and not differential lubricant was restored on then reading Gerd's post.
An example of the lore of Skippy would be this ficticious, but loosely based on series, "conversations" between Sonny, the boy in the series, and Skippy.
Sonny: What is it Skip?
Skippy: Tck, Tck, Tck, Tck, Tck (Apparenty this is Kangaroo language)
Sonny: (Tranlatng from Kangaroo) What! A '34 Dietrich Packard has crashed in the gully and needs to be pulled out?
Episodes often featured similar dialogue.
