that's what I do! Group: Members Posts: 20,065 Joined: 27-December 02 From: Port Hope, Ontario Member No.: 26 Region Association: Canada |
I say buy cheap dino, then... because it's cheap... fuching change it every couple of years.
I like Kendall dino when I can find it. I used to be a swepco lemming, really I never liked it that much, shifts like shit. Expensive shit. Since I still have some I toss in a couple of pints each change, just because the pretty blue colour is easy to spot if you have a leak. I still swear by Swepco 101 grease though, I love it! It doesn't mix with water, I can use it for everything from wheel bearings to CV's, cars, my Fiat diesel tractor, lawn tractor etc. One grease for all. I buy a case every couple of years, just bought a new case not long ago. |

I use the Sta Lube gear oil. I didn't like the Swepco gear oil. I love the Swepco 101 grease though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
