I too had an oily liquid run out from a grease gun with Aeroshell 6 on a warm summer
day. I cannot recall if I had stored it with the spring pulled back, or
not. I did note that you can mix Aeroshell 6 with 5, if you placard the plane
not to be operated in temperatures below some number that I forget. Also, like
everyone else, I did a cursory search for the new recommended grease, and could
not find any retail source. I did find that it cannot be mixed with Aeroshell.
BTW, the cautions not to mix incompatible greases should be taken seriously.
I still recall Alaskan Airlines loosing an MD80 just offshore from LAX after
they had mixed greases on the horizontal stabilizer jack screw.

I know it goes against the grain of CSOB pilots, but a tube of aeroshell 6
is what? Maybe 10-12 bucks,
