carlosbeldia Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm a complete stupid man and didn't ask Paddock for the one time shot grease sacks, so now I have this problem: I need to change my CV joints but don't have the swivel grease and haven't found Texaco EP00 in my city. I have access to lithium based greases with EP additives and CV joint grease, Can I use it in this application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I put the one shot grease in mine, but have to say I don't really like it that much so have gone back to good old EP90. Last 110 did 190,000 miles on it with no problems. Any brand of EP 90 will do, I always used whatever I could get for the best price.

SteveG Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 CV joint grease is perfectly good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The reason I don't like the grease is it doesn't seem to get to the top swivel bearing that well. Never had to adjust or replace them on the old 110. but one needed to be done on this one after a few thousand miles on genuine LR one shot. It was as dry as a bone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosbeldia Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 No 90 oil, just 80w90, can this serve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 80w90 will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I use fuchs renolit mo, its a high load cv lituim joint grease, mixed with ep90, it make a nice thick fluid. The grease is used for packing car cv joints so it should be good in the swivels as well. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks Gremlin, I think this is gonna be the trick I'm going to do.... thanks simon for the response..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The mixture is probably ideal. Mine is a sort of slurry consistency now as I didn't bother getting all the grease out when I switched back to EP90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
