BH, Thanks for your info and yes, I do recall your earlier thread about the CRC product and that was got me to try and locate some of it locally.

I did call the CRC tech dept.in Warminster, Pa. at the phone number (1 800-521-3168) listed on their tubes of grease. I ask if the SL-3144 extreme pressure Moly-Graph lubrication product was suitable for use in a planetary type gear box as was manufactured by the Packard Automobile co. in 1955 and 1956.
She (the engineer, tech?)said absolutely, because it was designed for use in farm,industrial and automotive gear boxes,wheel bearings, ball and roller , bushed bearings, slides, backing plates, chassis points, ball joints,u-joints etc. It is designed to minimize wear and withstand extreme pressure from heavy loading, shock loads, water attacks and friction because it establishes a fine micron plating on all working surfaces and contains rust and oxidation protection. When I ask about it's channeling properties, She said they don't use that term but if a gear or something else caused the product to be displaced the gear or whatever would still be protected from damage because of the plating effect and the fact that not all of grease would be displaced at any given period of time.
