I use the Hetman on my Nirschl and it works great. You have to be careful though that you don't mix it with a non-synthetic lubricant. It can gum up pretty badly, especially with a petroleum based slide grease, if you mix it. Fortunately, Hetman makes a whole line of lubricants that are designed to work together. Remember that the "Classic" is meant for older valves, more on the worn side. You might get even better results with the thinner grades when used on newer valves like your 2165.
My opinion for what it's worth...
