need an "ep" lube for gears,atf qualifies for that aspect.Sorry... But absolutely not.
That is a lubricant for the backside of brake pads to reduce braking noise.

Surely not the correct viscosity /flow /penetration for gears.
And we all know how important flow & penetration is

In the early 90's, I bought of tub of this grease, mainly to grease the sliders on automotive brake calipers. It's also rated for wheel bearings. As time passed, I used it for garage door wheels, and eventually in my bike axles, headsets and BB's. Recently used a dollop in my TSDZ2 mid drive.
It's almost all gone now. I bought a tube of Mobil SHC. I don't like the cartridge, so when I finish off a tin of peanuts, I'll fill it with Mobil,
Anyway, I did buy a DM02 motor last month. Comes in around the same weight as a TSDZ2.
I powered it up on the bench, and the display lights up and the throttle works, The display has something like 50 screens and will show watts, temperature, and voltage, the big Three, although I might crash the bike flipping thru the screens to find them.
I also bought the programming cables. Virus scans indicate no malware in the Toseven downloads, but I have no plans to update the firmware, It seems that until a few weeks ago, the download firmware was older than what they were shipping in current product. With that kind of release control, best to avoid. I hate programming firmware anyway.
I need a bike for it. I have a nice GT hybrid that I swore never to electrify it, but now I'm getting too old to pedal around without power. Guess I will sacrifice it to the Ebike Gods.
No real world results yet. It ain't wine country where I live. Snow just fell today, and I have to reorganize my bikes and lawn equipment to get the snownlower out.

I remember that grease !!
I've never had any, but I remember seeing it around many times.
My grease containers all look the same as yours.
It sucks how you always end up with crud in the grease, so when you have to pack a bearing, you have to dig past the top layer of grease to reach the clean stuff underneath.
I never threw out the dirty stuff, and would wipe it along my car fenders to help stop rust.
Fenders always rust out first.
Snow fell here too for the first time today.
I think my riding days are done for the season?
Now I can finally grease my motor with my fancy $50 Mobil 28 Airplane Grease,..
It should only be a ½ hour job but I'm sure I'll screw up or break something that will take a month to fix, so I waited until winter to do it.
I hope I don't get sand or metal bits in the grease.
