Where would the 20wt and grease co-mingle?

Also, what is the concern about PTFE and brass bearings?

To be candid, the reason I asked about the CRC Brake and Caliper grease was consideration of availability, price, and volume.

I found Dixon #3 graphite grease. Available from England/Australia, one website said will not import to USA.

I moved on to CRC StayLube moly-graph. Not expensive, readily available. Smallest amount I could locate was 14 oz tub. Won't use it all lubing up the juke, won't use it on anything else, and I don't want to store/manage another tub of grease.

Searching further, the Brake and Caliper grease was in a much smaller volume, in a tube, just a few ounces.

Grease and oil need to "mingle" all over, in every place that grease is recommended !
PTFE clogs pores in brass bearings--stopping the oil flow ! So I've been informed by "lubrication engineers".
I have a 1 lb can of StayLube--but it's old--made long before CRC began selling it--If cheap enough, why not purchase it--you will "find" other uses for it along the way !
