Made the mistake of using that white lithium grease for awhile and after putting it on everything around the house, learned of it's destructive qualities on rubber. Now I just paranoid about these things. I've bought something called Sta-Lube extreme pressure MOLY-GRAPH multi purpose grease at the local Pep Brats, but the only MOLY anything on the label is in the name. This is a lithium base grease too but black and I don't know whether to use it or not. man...this is a lot o' goop about grease! |
