GREASE

I've noticed different types of grease for different applications... Special water pump grease (high temp and water resistant)... Wheel Bearing grease (thicker and high temp)... standard grease for many of the zeros... OK! FINE!

So do I have to clean out my grease gun every time I want to reload another kind of grease? Do I buy three or four grease guns loaded with each type of grease? What do you all do here? - Chuck

I use the red Mystik JT-6 High Temp grease for everything. No problems since I started using it over 10 years ago.

I use two guns currently, down from three. As Tom mentions above, one for the red grease used almost everywhere, and I have a second one for the green corn head grease I use on the springs of my '39 (it has a zerk on the center bolts). I had the third one for water pump grease before I got the leakless pump. So one for the Model A works just fine.

Other than the water pump I use Starplex 880. Hands down the best grease sold. Rod

Thanks. I have some white silicone lithium stuff in my big gun now. Guess I'll use it up first, then get one of these recommended.
I hand-packed the wheel bearings with some red MasterPro High-Temp Wheel Bearing Grease, so no need for a gun.
