What Grease Do You Use On Your Driveshaft

hehehe, grease and shafts...


Anyways, I've been using Mobil1 for the past few years. Got my truck with 36K miles. I've been greasing it once during the fall. Don't really put a lot of miles on my truck, only about 8K or so a year.

I hate using the Mobil1 grease though. I can't save my left overs properly. The only ALWAYS seperate and makes a mess everywhere.

I imagine this probably happens with the driveshaft also, so that can't be good.

What other product can I use in place of Mobil1? And will it be an issue with mixing it with the old Mobil1 grease.

 

DuPont lithium

 

Royal Purple Synthetic.

 

mobil 1 synthetic

 

I don't think either would be an issue mixing in with the older Mobil 1.

Valvoline durablend or full syn

I am a fan of moly impregnated greases.

 

Had used Valvoline something. Switched to Lucas "red and tacky".

 

I club baby seals and squeeze them directly into the drivetrain.

 

Nyco Grease 65 aerospace-grade vaseline, made in France.

I also use Mobil1 synthetic and have the same problem, leaks out of my gun all over the place in my garage while it sits.

Though from what i've seen once it's in the zerks and around the shaft it doesn't seem to break down.

Though i'm always open to a better alternative...

 

Vermeer Gold.

 

I thought the Super lube synthetic was not good on the drive line?

 

Toyota simply requires NLGI Gr 2, which according to this page, Super Lube meets.

 

I had herd in a few other threads to use the superlube on my UCA. but not to use it on the drive shaft I never got an explanation why

 

Red and tacky but I have the same problem of it separating. Figure I'll use up the tube and switch to something else.

 

For high-force applications (like on the driveshaft), a grease with molybdenum disulfide added would be less likely to get squeezed out. However, Toyota requires only basic NLGI Gr 2 on the driveshaft. My advice? Pick which ever brand of grease that doesn't reek heavily of sulfur.

 

Haha okay thanks
