Hi, couldn't agree more. I've been using the product since 2019. I migrated to Australia, I was happy that the is Lube Shuttle is available here in Australia, less waiting time an can be purchased online.

I think HF has their own version now for $10 less for a pair.

Hi, I know this is an old post and am not sure if you're still in the conversation. I got a used 15 GX with unknown maintenance history during the past 20k miles. I first gave each spider each spider U-joint 5-6 pumps and each slip yoke 9-10 pumps, but I didn't see any old grease seep out the spider U-joint and no movement or sound on the slip yoke. I assumed the car hadn't been lubricated for too long so I gave each 5 more pumps. It ended up with giving each spider U-joint 9-10 pumps and each slip yoke 14-15 pumps but still found nothing. I stopped pumping more since I knew over-greasing slip joints can cause serious damage.

Did I still pump too much grease into slip yokes? Is there anything I can do now to prevent possible damage?
