There might not be anything wrong at all, and if you say White motors always used pj, then I might too. My experimentation on greases have been from bicycle hubs, anything from non-geared, 3 speed to 9 speed. Some greases are gooey enough to make pedals noticeably harder to turn, which is something just the inner circle of mechanics talk about, though it's well known. I know the consistency of grease can matter a lot. When I use a suitable liquid oil in a hub they tend to run and shift even lighter; often much better. For bikes it's usually always low temperature, at least where I live. The exception is a few down hill conditions, but then it's the breaks causing the heat. Some tests even show less wear with oil than grease. However, motors need grease and oil is a side track in this regard. Before you made me aware of melting points and wicking abilty factors I was aiming for something with the added slipperyness of teflon, and a very smooth and soft feel.

Do you use the very soft PJ or the slightly more solid type? There seem to be two types when I buy it at the grocery store or drug store.
