I have in the shed a very old tub of Castrol motor oil. Its thick, yellow gunge, and very few things can compel it to break down - its even pretty immune to degreaser.
It doesn't roll terribly quickly, but for my commuting bike I love the stuff, and it doesn't need changing too often.
Pretty cheap too - I have a tub kind of the size of a hammerite tin and it lasts for ages.
Not proper bikes stuff, but I haven't had any issues
For my faster bikes I prefer something a little lighter and less industrial though :-)
Haha,I've got some of that stuff too, inherited from Dad's shed. I thought it must be only me that's got some. Good stuff though, used it to do best bike's headset yesterday

Oddly enough mine is inherited from Dad's shed too :-)
 
I have had a LARGE tin of thick grease that I bought from my LBS when I was about 15 - 55 years ago! It is khaki coloured and lettered WD with an arrow. Probably war surplus bought as a job lot BITD. I reckon that if it was good enough for Churchill tanks, it's good enough for my winter bike!

No help to the OP, I'm sorry - but you might find a tin at a boot sale!
 
Most of the oil company's do water pump grease the stuff from agri dealers for the irrigation pumpswill do the trick.
