Mystik JT-6 Hi-temp vs. synthetic iso 220?

[MStarmer]

Ok this is a follow up to the 4Runner driveline thread. I was going to just bite the bullet and get two grease guns but I'm rethinking that. I'm probably just going to use the Mystik JT-6 Hi-temp No.2, but would the Synthetic ISO 220 be a better choice? I'm only going to use this twice a year at most and it's going to be sitting. I don't want a grease that's going to sit here and separate and leak all over.

Thanks!

Lots of people like the Mystik High Temp for wheel bearings on disc brakes and for greased chassis points. I use synthetic but I drive half the year at freezing temps sometimes as low as -20 F. I don't think you have that issue in Washington. Just ask Stacey for advice.

My concern with JT-6 high temp. It is only good down to -10 degrees F.

What happens if I travel somewhere that is colder? This is my cold weather vehicle, that is why I run a 0w oil.

Haven't greased my T4R yet, but plan to soon.

what temp is the mystic syn 220 function down to?

You cant have it all....either 2 (or more guns/greases) or compromise on something.

I don't know about Mystic but Mobil 1 Synthetic has an operating temperature range of -40 to 300 F.

Wonder what the drop point of it is - when the red liquid leaks out, after the first month in the tube.

Mystik is sold in Mini-tubes as well. You could by a mini-gun for a low price.

I found a tube of the JT-6 Hi-Temp No.2, seems like it meets the spec's of the manual so I hit all the fittings yesterday. I'm probably just going to give em all a shot every oil change or every other. If I can find a small tube of the moly I wouldn't be against a small harbor freight gun just for the sliders.

Thanks
