I use swepco 101 grease on just about everything.
On a bushing where I want a bit stickier/thinner I mix some 101 grease with a dab of blue STP or Lucas engine assembly lube. I've used oil mixed with some blue STP in my oil can for years, great for anywhere you want oil that's a bit sticky. For T1/T4 engine assembly, lathe slides and anything you shoot with the oil can. |
