what is your preferred birfield grease?
thanks,
manny


marine
high temp
synthetic
moly

Kendall Ultra Blue Only. It's a High Temp unlike any other.

inside the birf itself, moly

for the trunions and such, marine

I'm too lazy to fill the damn opening full, prefer to do a 2-3x a year repack instead....

Valvoline Red - sticky, gooey and moly fortified.

Cheep Black.

FSM says Moly. I use Amsoil Synthetic Moly (purple) although I'm going to try their waterproof (blue) Moly. But 80s see a lot more wear than a 40, 55, 60, 62 etc... with the fulltime 4wd. I used Redline in the past and will never do that again. Expensive and I didn't like how it performed.

I always use Synthetic Sombrero on department meeting days. :flipoff2: Otherwise I use Gray Moly. I guess the parts came in eh?

I used to use Napa brand high temp grease when I had birfields. Napa grease/oils are made by Valvoline. Buy them in the 5 lb. tubs.

Leave them dry so you don't get your hands as dirty changing them when they gernade

Thanks everyone for the grease info...

Is this an exercise in futility? Has anyone on this board ever actually worn out a birf? (not you Mark SWB), I'm thinkin' that the poll should be changed to "easiest to clean up after while doing a trailside birf change grease". Or maybe "grease requiringing the least changing of AIDS gloves and smallest roll of paper towels while doing a trailside birf change". I think if it's slippery and gooey and comes in a tub, it'll work fine for birfields. Especially for these folks that CHANGE? birfield grease bi-annually!!

Is this an exercise in futility?...
lol

I suppose it at least makes a difference with regard to how well the grease stays "solidified," grease wise. When I first bought my 40, I made the mistake of pumping the birf full of high temp disc brake grease (dino). You know, 'cause it has disc brakes.:laughing: Everytime I drove it, the grease heated up some and leaked like a sieve. :shaking: Live and learn.:D

geesg!!! didn"T I teach you anything last year ?
( rock hound ) remember the guys in the fj80 ??? the guy that got out around every turn to throw rocks ??? I want you to be my DOG !!GO GETEM BOY !!

I know you are suppose to run moly grease in the birf and non moly in the bearings. I could not find the part numbers Dan ( Dan Dan the Cruiser parts man on IH8MUD) suggested to me at 4 diff parts stores. So I bought Mobil 1 for both the Birfs and Bearings. Any one see anything wrong with using that in both? Its a non Moly type of red synth gease.
