I know - my sons bikes are DT Swiss- after being a LONG time king user, I'm sold on DT Swiss 240 for my next wheels- I ordered the DT grease and upgraded teeth ratchets and was amazed at how small the grease tub was - looked like a much larger tub on the web!

Ditto. My bottle isn't as old, though.

My Tenacious oil still has the original price tag on it. I got it when I worked at the LBS mid '70s. Still going strong, but it's a little darker green now than then.

Update: after taking everything apart, cleaning, and adding oil as advised, the issue still persisted. I took the wheel to my LBS, and after looking at it, concluded that the freehub body teeth were not correct. They are in the process of warrantying the freehub body.
