Borat-Simplicity Winter Weight Gear Lube is Part# 1704636- That's the correct Benalene based lube. A guy on Ebay has it listed for about $17 usd for a quart. The web parts houses have it for $4 and change but don't tell you the size of the container.

I had to have new lube in my van's differential because I backed it into a lake and water got in the differential. That was at about 220,000 Km.

I'd recommend changing the auger gear lube every 200,000 Km whether it needs it or not.
