[R-390] gear lube

[rbethman]

Scott,

The biggest problem I see with this is it WILL attract ANY dust or dirt 
that gets inside.

Good old fashioned Mobil 1 works fine, it doesn't take much at all,, and 
you can usually get enough for free if you can get the can right after 
someone tosses it at the service station.
