All this canned spray lubrication stuff is marketing
hype.  They don't give a rats butt whether or not
your vehicle makes it down the road one more mile
or not.  You'll get the same result if you spray it
with plain any brand oil.  The real fix is to
replace the worn parts with new ones.

Rant out....
