I thought I read that there was teflon in that stuff. If so DO NOT run it in anything. As stated ealier, just use full synthetic lube. You can't do better in my opinion. Good Luck

Snake oil. Just put a recommended motor oil in it and ride. Too many worry too much about "heat". It is a greatly over exageratted condition.
