My understanding is that the pbr grease is the closest thing we'll ever get to the tubes of grease that used to come with EM games when they were new. Personally, I've never used either grease. I use teflon super lube throughout my EMs, and I've had zero issues with it. I doubt it matters too much.

'Teflon Super Lube'. Most auto parts suppliers will carry it, or a competitors product. One tube might out last you.

I use it.
Not really sure what's so special about it, but it seems to work very well.

So this grease does not introduce electrical resistance, and therefore could be used in any application across electrical contacts? That would make it useful.

Well it's non conductive (dielectric properties). I have found it handy to have around.

Well in 20 years when I finish my tube of Teflon super lube, I will try some.

I use the PBR grease. When it comes to EMs I have no reason to EVER doubt the advice Steve gives me. The product is perfect for it's intended application. I'm sure the Teflon stuff works also but I bought a tub of PBRs grease 10 years ago and will probably never use it up.
