Title: In lieu of antiseize... Post by daedalus on 07/10/10 at 03:48:23 motor oil or lithium grease? (Working with what I have--live in the middle of nowhere and working til 5 every day.) |

Title: Re: In lieu of antiseize... Post by Routy on 07/10/10 at 05:20:45 We could ask,..."for what" But I'd choose grease over oil, and I mite use STP over grease. STP can PMO just about as bad as neversieze ! >:( ;D |

Title: Re: In lieu of antiseize... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/10/10 at 05:32:38 I stirred some stuff together to put in the rear axle of the lawnmower. It leaked & the fixit folks said, its not a serviceable item, replace for $300.00 + labor. So, I took it out, opened it up, added what I call, Groil, a mix of grease, oil, & neversieze. Added a grease gun hose & a vent tube to the axle housing, now, I can top it off w/ grease, but, since I added the vent, it doesnt seem to be pushing grease out on hot days like it did,, meeehhh,, long as it works, who cares, right? Maybe a mix of oil & grease? Pretty serious slikkum. |

Title: Re: In lieu of antiseize... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/10/10 at 09:32:57 WD evaporates away, tho. My boss wanted me to "pickle" a big bunch of auto transmission parts for a pulling unit, Massive & expensive stuff. He handed me a few cans of WD & went wild spraying those things down. Everything was drenched & dripping in WD40. I happened to need up where the parts were a couple months later & they were all junk. Rusted up & looking like crap, total loss. This was in West Tx, not exactly the most humid place Ive been. |

Title: Re: In lieu of antiseize... Post by ero4444 on 07/10/10 at 15:44:02 darn, that is weird - WD40=Water-Displacement formula attempt#40 , made for rust prevention, not lube. Vaseline/petroleum jelly is cheap and it was also developed for rust prevention. |

Faced with that choice, I'd use the grease. JMHO. |
