That "long-life" grease doesn't seem to make any difference to anything. The servo motor is constantly getting sprayed and taking a bath in oil. The moly lube stays on the worm gear for maybe all of 5 minutes until oil gets up to temp and washes it away. Kind of odd bmw even says it's necessary seeing as how they have an oil squirter pointing down to the servo as well lol.
That little electric motor puts out some serious amperage and torque to whip the eccentric back and fourth in milliseconds. Shit just break and the motor itself burns out.
