Clay based grease

[gnm]

Anyone know where I could get a clay base lube for slack adjusters on an RV?

The manual calls for that and can't find it locally.

Thanks!

A source I like for stuff like this.

They have quite a few varieties of bentone-clay thickened grease.

Plastilube is made with bentonite (clay): PDF

I use Plastilube for all sorts of squeaky things. It lubes well, lasts pretty long, doesn't melt, and it tolerates some moisture.

Schaeffer has several bentone thickened clay based greases.

What's the minimum order? For motor oil that had a minimum order limit that made ordering from them unreasonable for a "micro consumer" like me.

Our 248 and 260 would be your choices with clay based.
30 tubes to a case.

What am I going to do with a whole case?

Mori if you got some high temp situations with your mining, asphalt plant or heavy equipment needs this grease would be a great fit.

I already lubed my Komatsu wheel loader.
