Ken,
I don't know how far into that link you went but there is a smaller link to one of Jenny's blog entries where it's said the Tri-Flow grease is not good for motors because it won't melt. Since it won't melt the grease can't be absorbed or wicked up into the motor's bearings.
What makes it great for bearings, is what makes it unsuitable for motors.
I've had those stupid Singer grease tubes split too. I think maybe I'm gonna cut off more of the spout to make a bigger hole when I do my 201 grease pots.
Either that or I'm gonna get me a couple more of the curved end syringes Sew-Classic sells for grease and put the Singer grease in that.
Joe
