I think a good all purpose grease should be sufficient for that.
 

I’ve been using Super Lube Synthetic Grease lately and I like it a lot.

Heh, mebbe good, then, having used this . . .

Pretty good stuff. Everything they sell is top notch.

Kluber Staburags is not so easy to find! Doesn’t roll off the tongue as easily either 

That product is readily available wherever old BMW motorcycle enthusiasts gather. And it doesn't roll off anything. I learned about it when I had a K75S. Applications to the BMW drive shaft splines border religious ritual among the "faithful."

A word to the wise: although *everyone* just refers to "Staburags", the letters after the name are important. There are quite a number of products called "Staburags xxx", all with a different intended purpose.

I see this for  the NBU 30 PTM  that I ended up with. I reckon that is the right stuff for the drive hub.

"Lubricating and assembly grease STABURAGS NBU 30 PTM is a solid lubricant-containing, water-resistant assembly grease that protects against tribocorrosion (fretting corrosion and fretting corrosion). It is particularly effective for outdoor applications with high humidity."

A mechanical, dial actuated, combination lock.

I am rather surprised at the "high speed, load carrying, and water resistance" characteristics for this application.

I will personally vouch for this;
Loosens ridiculously siezed locks, to wit; 30 years unused security door latch in El Paso.
Applies easily, not sticky, doesn't linger on finger, and critically important; DOESN'T STINK.

Well the SDS says a "propriety blend of base OILS and solvents". So much for the "no oil" bit on the can.

I got a can of Houdini on the way. I am trying to restore smooth turning of the combination dial without disassembly. Or hiring a locksmith.

The lock manufacturer notes "Heavy petroleum lubricants can cause swelling and distortion of Delrin or Celcon (plastic) components. Use only recommended lubricants (AeroShell, Versilube, and Gn Metal Paste). "

Yes, I believe that is indeed the particular variant that is named for the cardan and drive hub by those who bother to quote the xxxx after the "Staburags" name.

I'm sure that OSHA, FDA, API, and the Commerce Department have space between their thresholds for naming something 'oil' lol
