Special TL Link Grease

Just curious, does anyone know what the special torsion level link seat grease was, and why it is a special grease?

It is mentioned variously in the manual as needing to be used when the torsion bars are unloaded, but no other time.

Example: second paragraph on pg 29 of this document.

Lotta discussion on this years ago, and I tried to summarize the salient points in the following FAQ post:

SUSPENSION & STEERING: Torsion-Level Compensator Grease

Some of the links to external sites are broken because the supplier kept revising the website. I fixed them a couple of times, but can no longer edit the post.

John Deere corn head grease is perfect.

Primeline "00" grease would also work if you are a cheapskate.
