Tri-Flow grease is not good for Singer potted motors.

From Sew-Classic
http://shop.sew-classic.com/Tri-Flow...oz-TF23004.htm

Tri-Flow Clear Synthetic Grease - 3.0 oz. tube- great value- about 30% less per oz. than the 0.25 oz. tube.
THE BEST lubricant for sewing machine gears that require grease. It's MUCH "stickier" than the Singer grease/lubricant so it doesn't "fling off" so much as the gears spin. The added PTFE (Teflon) makes the machine run so much smoother- Tri-Flow Grease is waterproof, clear, prevents rust and corrosion - formulatied with PTFE (aka Teflon)
Superb lubricant for lubricating metal gears- even safe for most non-metal gears that require lubrication. (refer to the service or owners manual for guidelines for lubricating non-metal gears- requirement varies) Stays put- great stuff! (USA purchase only)
Not recommended for grease tubes or pots that lubricate motor bearings via a wick. Either use the Singer grease for this or petroleum jelly for those applications
I would recommend just using the Singer motor lube.
