Seems this stuff "plays better" with rubber/plastics vs copper base anti-seize (concerned with rubber boot spline seal life).

Bentley states Weicon or equivalent. I'm unable to find any reputable online source stating suitable equiv.

Front DS spline looks great, no need for longer spline mod!
Yes definitely used an anti-seize agent on the differential spline that went from the transfer case to front diff as recommended by my brother. At his shop he mentioned the number of X5s that come in with the stripped spline and when then ho back with a new one an anti seize agent is used. My transfer case splines are in excellent shape but there was the dry rust dust in the spline and socket. Cleaned her right up and put anti seize agent in it and re-assembled. I don't expect to get a stripped spline in the t-case socket now that we have it set up correctly.
