Leroy,
We're not on Mars and Dow 33, now called Molykote 33 is still a Lithium and Silicone oil base. Lithium greases dry out and Silicone oil is a weak lubricant that separates and runs all over the place including the clutches causing slippage problems. Read the data sheets Molykote 33 is not as good a lubricant as SuperLube pure synthetic with Teflon. SuperLube also has an extremely low cold startup torque and won't freeze or melt off the bearings or worms at least not on Earth.?Dow 33/Molykote 33 was the only game in town 25-30 years ago when full synthetics were not widely available but Dow 33 has long since been surpassed.??
