I am glad we are on the same page. A TON EASIER, and I'm running out of time.

On a different note, that Aero Kroil is AMAZING! It's almost like it crawls into the places other stuff can't. I had an old jeep that I was fixing up. I couldn't get one specific bolt loose....even with an impact. Matter of fact, it broke an 18mm socket trying to get off. I had a man here at the church where I work give me a can of that stuff. He told me to spray it on there, let it sit for a day. Spray it down good again, give it another day. I went out after that second spraying, broke it free with a breaker bar with ease. IT'S EXPENSIVE, but it's worth it. I have a can in my truck, and a couple in my shop!
Yes, AeroKroil is marketed as "The Oil That Creeps", and it does. I recommend you keep it somewhere out of sight, on the top shelf, way in the back. Use the WD40 and such for your day to day things, but save the 'Kroil for the tough jobs. I read a warning once to never use 'Kroil to lube a pistol, as it could inert ammo!
Good luck with your tilt/trim woes, hope it works for you too. You will note there is not much fluid in that tiny reservoir, a lot of the fluid will be thru the system. Pull out what you can, refill, trim up and down a few times, and I suggest repeat again.
Here is the recommended fluid:
