I think the last time I used Lubriplate was near 30 years ago. Used it
on turntables then.
I don't know if it fills all the manufacturer requirements, but for
years I've been using Amzoil fully synthetic wheel bearing grease in
rotors. There are other full synthetic brands these days, but the key
feature of a full synthetic grease is that it doesn't get stiff in the
winter. Everything else I've seen tends to get thick like glue when very
cold and then the rotor stops.
As long as ice doesn't freeze up the outside, I've never had a rotor
quit in the winter using full synthetic grease. Many stores carry it and
it even works on cars and snow blowers.... <g>
