I'll bite at the hint. Lanolin.

When the  oil evaporates, the  grease will still be in there.  

That is so true. The big problem  with lanolin used as tuning slides is that  
the lanolin can get  washed into the valves. The valves work fine until the 
valve  oil  evaporates or gets blown through, and a film of lanolin is left 
on the  
surface of the rotor.

Bonus question.  What does Holton use  for slide grease when the horns  are 
assembled at the  factory?
