I've just tried this and it does make a significant improvement, especially
on older cylinders. With two old cylinders connected up in parallel, I found
that the treated one would extend and retract before the untreated one, and
when both were treated both became more or less equal again. I don't suppose
there is any chance of damage to the seals from this grease?
In my own tests I can confirm that it also makes an improvement to the
technic turntables.
