Drive shaft spline lube

[TriumPhil]

Looks like you might be onto something , Kev. I mean one of them is explicitly described as spline grease.

I'll hold a definitive opinion for those more qualified than I, however.

Try to find what the moly content of these products is.

Apologies for bringing the thread back on topic but would either of these work:

AS60 Molyslip 16001 100g Tub Anti-Scuffing Paste - Molyslip Anti-seize & Assembly Compounds - Lubricants & Greases - Product List - Drake Tooling & Abrasives Ltd



Castrol Molub-Alloy Paste White T (AKA Optimol) clutch, g/box, d/shaft splines | eBay

I like the AS60

Try to find what the moly content of these products is.

MOLYSLIP AS60 Anti-Scuff Paste is a gelled lubricating oil, containing 60% molybdenum disulphide, forming a soft paste. It also contains rust and corrosion inhibitors.

Edited - sorry @Fingers was a bit quick - The Castrol IS NOT MOS2 based. The name was a bit of a give away - White suggests ZINC OXIDE - and is.

I was thinking the AS60; the only thing putting me off is the 'gel-based' description.

Data sheet here (for AS40, same but for the Moly content)

I think I'll get some - wheels are coming off to be powder coated.

Ordered. I'll report back when it arrives.

Yesterday I finally ordered a Can of Loctite LB 8012 Moly Paste 65% Molybdenum from Brammer UK (used to be BSL Ltd UK) 453.6 g tin.
It's much more than what I can use in a couple of years and expensive, but seems to be the correct moly content. £50

Well it arrived, looks suitably black and sticky and enough to last me a few years.

Was it expensive in relation to what you get in the can? My moly paste cost me £50 for less than 1/2 litre and it's from a UK supplier.

 

[Kevm]

well mine was about £19 for 100g once you add post and VAT. So yours is cheaper per gram but then again It'll take me years to use 100g let alone half a litre ...
