In my 95 landcruiser I run 10w-40. For many reasons. With that said, 10w-40 is getting hard to find in stock in my area. Would running 5w-40 negatively affect anything? I can't see how it could, but my brain is jello due to this cold I've got and I figured I should ask folks who are more...

Its time to repack the wheel bearings in a work truck, and 4 work trailers. Ranging from an aluminum 4x6 to a 10k gvwr dump trailer. I would like to get a premium product to do the trailers as I don't repack them as often as I should, because they are always on the road. Ive always used...

I was reading thru my previous posts out of boredom and curiosity. I noticed a couple uses on here mentioned almagard. It intrigued my curiosities so I did a quick search. I really didn't find much about it, other than it being mentioned here and there, and there were plenty of manufacturer...

Besides the 4wds I also have lots of trailers as I own a construction company. it's time to beak them all down and clean and repack. I figure while I'm doing the cruiser I'll just do everything. Of these two which would you choose and why. http://www.schaefferoil.com/221-moly-ultra.html...

If you had a very capable 4x4 that saw everything from kid hauling, jobsites, creek/river crossings and full on rockcrawling and money or base type wasn't an issue which grease would choose for wheel bearings and for chassis lubrication. I'm jus curious to see y'all's answers. Will

If a grease is used at -5*F and it only rated down to 0*F, does it cake up and cause heat issues or ? Just trying to learn. Thanks in advance Will

I've been studying grease the past few days. Most are lithium complex, some are calcium and some are aluminum. What I can't find the answer to is what are each one best for. It looks like aluminum is best for water resistance. But I could be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated. Even if...

Lin story short. I have a Toyota land cruiser. I usually use gm red valvoline but this time I used palladium because of its high moly content. Unfortunately it can't handle the heat and oozes out and the bearings lose preload. I don't have time to rebuild the whole axle right now so I need a...

This is in a Toyota land cruiser. I used this http://www.valvoline.com/our-products/grease-gear-oil/palladium-grease for the wheel bearings and birfields, I prefer to use one type of grease because the two areas can and will get to each other. However the palladium sucks as a wheel bearing...

I posted this awhile back but it kinda got side tracked. And I'm jus now getting the chance to do the work anyways. I have to run a gl5 75w90. The transfer case it's going in is subjected to heat from an exhaust pipe that is very very close to it, so the oil is getting extra hot. Between...

On my land cruiser I rerouted the exhaust inside the frame rails. The pipe is now pretty close to the transfer case. Śo far the Dino oil is working ok but it does get pretty hot. With that said, which synthetic gear oil can handle heat the best. Thanks for your time. Will

Pass it along. It covers pretty much all the questions I asked earlier. I'm sure most have seen this, but a lot of folks search this site. So hopefully this will help those folks. http://www.penriteoil.com.au/tech_pdfs_new/Grease_brochure.pdf

My last post answered my questions about moly and wheel bearings and I bought the appropriate grease. But I have another question. What happens when a moly and a non moly grease mix. Will it hurt anything, will they separate and fight each other or ? What happens when a calcium sulfonate...

Ok, I've spent the last 2 days (about 10 total hours) researching grease for a Toyota truck 4wd front axle application. I've read some very good posts with some very good points but a true answer is never given. Maybe this thread will provide all the future searchers an answer, so here goes...
