He's bullshitting of course, probably because he doesn't have a source
for calciums. I'd have gone elsewhere! :)

If you'd pushed him he'd probably also told you calciums won't stand
up to vibration or heat and aren't suitable for off-road use. I've
been running them in dozers for the best part of twenty years and
never had a failure in that application, which is about as tough as
the going ever gets.

They're also a lot more widely available than they once were.
Autobarn even had them last time I looked.
