My opinion is that any "grease" is probably not necessary given the job we are trying to do. Bosch probably used a thick grease to keep the lubricant in place over the life of the drill. This lubricant, while reducing the efficiency of the geartrain, probably extends the life of the drill to the point where the customer is happy enough to buy another Bosch drill when the time comes. I for one only require that this drive train last the life of this year's competition. I can extend this life with routine preventative maintenance (lubrication)with a lighter "Oil" and get a performance bonus. Use what you wish. If you develop trouble with heating motors, remember drag (friction) is one of those nasty little facts of robotic life ..............

I'll stop preaching now ........
