Yes. Further to my last email, there is further info on the tube:-

Looks like the common denominator on these thick oils/pourable greases =
is that they meet the requirements of  NLGI 00 standard (NLGI is =
National Lubricating Grease Institute).  This topic is a common one in =
the old car world with folks like us. The results of the use of this =

many sites. So if you have an very old Chevy or a AH this stuff is =
helpful. Not saying that a properly repaired steering box can=E2=80=99t =
be nearly leak free but for most of us this stuff will make the =
situation much better. Don=E2=80=99t let the term grease deter your use. =
 It still flows to all the places that need lubrication but resists =
leaking out.   By the way there are lots of sources for this stuff under =
many name brands and retailers.  NAPA, John Deere and a multitude of =
others.  Use the NLGI 00 specs to find supplier near you.
