Grease not Oil this time (Read 203 times)

Posts: 2517 central Mass Gender:	Grease not Oil this time 10/06/10 at 11:39:04 Well, went to the car parts store, the atv store, and the tractor guys store..all grease is Lithium based. No Molly grease anywhere. Where or where has my Molly gone, and where can I find her. Or can we use the modern lithium casting aside dear molly? And as a Patriots fan, no Moss on this team anymore.

Well, most all grease has a lithium 12-hydroxy stearate base. Moly, really molybdenum disulfide, is a solid additive like graphite for improved anti wear characteristics in certain applications, but it is still is dispersed in a lithium-base grease. Perhaps there's your confusion. Valvoline and others make greases with molybdenum disulfide. I use it on chassis ball joints and brake caliper slider pins.

But thanks for the info, I was thinking Molly was the dinosaur and lithium the new kid on the block. Phelonius - it's soo hard to keep those lube job threads from squirting up.

I found a lithium grease with moly (molybdenum disulphide) as an additive in Walmart, in one of their Super-Tech greases. Also, Honda dealers sell a moly grease with 60% moly in it, designed for lubing drive splines on shaft-drive bikes. Both came in cartridges designed for grease guns. I used the Honda product to lube the bushings on the rear suspension on my Ninja, and it seems to work OK.

Eschew obfuscation.

None of this pale white stuff..no way. It was also twice the price of the lithium only $6.00 and change vs $3.00 and change.

If you require a truly waterproof moly grease, check this out: Schaeffer #221 Moly Ultra I think this is really good stuff. Aluminum complex base. This is available locally in many places: http://www.schaefferoil.com/dealer_locator.html
