EK> I would read the lable for content.  I highly suspect that the white
silicon is synthetic based and should work.  The black moly-lube just happens
to be handy for me from a small grease gun source. I worked in aerospace and
have seen the adverse effects that lubricants exhibit when going through
temperature cyclying.

The key is "Non-petroleum based".

One has to consider that the BA's do develop heat and the effects on petroelum
(especially old, old stuff) will just give a person fits on frequency drift.
At least, that has been my experience.  Your mileage may vary.....hi
