    Is just a tube grease? I thought Durablend was valvolines trademark name for their Synthetic blend engine oils...

    use it where a lithium complex EP grease is called for

    it might work good in Ben's Red as his base is lithium based.

    I've used it to make lithi-bee grease and it worked just as well as LBT blue and Appache blue in handguns. Just mix it with beeswax until you our happy with the consistency.

    Keep it if you don't mind taking it on the move, otherwise put it in the garage sale for $3. You can buy more just about anywhere, any time, and it's cheap, and if for some reason you don't like it as a boolit lube ingredient you can use it for chassis grease.
