It seems like, that initially, when the sewing machine world extolled the virtues of Tri-Flow that it was suggested that it could be used anywhere the Vintage Singer Lube could. A few years later, that changed for motors as it didn't work like it should.

The funny thing about it is that I've never purchased or used Tri Flow, just petroleum jelly and old (red/green) Singer lube until it ran out. I thought I'd read recently about using it in motors, so that's why I mentioned it.
