I did this conversion on my 75 240D -- you need to change the controller, the glow coil, and the wiring, as it is a fairly different system. However, it does convert over well without much work. ...

Note the dominant factor is likely the regular grease drying out in the cable feed-tube and not so much the MB grease on the slides. I've had good luck with the Rusty-sized canister.
