Thanks for your responses. To answer Adam, some G11 users have seen wear on bearings which are under pressure, e.g. thrust and needle bearings, when using superlube. Superlube has Teflon/PTFE which keeps parts physically separated but isn't meant for high pressures situations.
Lubricants designed to work under pressure, such as MP-50 (used by Losmandy) with molybdenum as an additive, provides better protection. I've found an alternative, mobilgrease-28, for the bearings. So now just looking for an MP-50 equivalent for the worm. I saw the geoptik lubricant, wish they said what was in it!!
Maybe I'm being pedantic, in fact I know I am ...
