types of greases?

[uss2defiant]

Hi all,

I didn't find a thread on this topic.

What sort of grease do you have in hand?

Currently, I have a can of white lithium grease.

I'm looking to grease up the window regulator and door holder.
I'm thinking of getting some teflon grease instead of white lithium grease for that.

I'm also looking to get a can of silicon to protect the window rubber trims , plastic trims and other protection functions.

Thoughts on the teflon grease instead of white lithium grease?
Any other greases and applications that I didn't metion?

Ya silicone spray for window trims is good.
White lithium dont stick all that well & melts away.
I use the red Premium Penzoil 707L wheel bearing grease where sticking is important.

Works great on Jba 4.5 upper ball joints too.
Teflon grease??...never used it on KJ.. Oh I know... that must be useful inside frying pans right? :icon_lol:

PTFE is another name for teflon.

where do you use your wheel bearing grease?

On the steel inside part of all doors (clips) hatch gate same, cant remember if i use it on hood release or wd-40 there.
I would want to try a synthetic based grease for the window regulators though....I dont think it would freeze either.

I'll be trying this since I have it lying around in my lab

Finish Line Teflon Grease - 3.5 oz. Tube

no lithium in it which is good. I read that lithium grease sort of gums up.

should be comparable to the permatex you posted. Interestingly has better temperature range too.

It it works I'll be putting some of this on the door holder and a few other places around the jeep.

Do you grease up any plastic pieces for smooth functionality? door handles? seats? gear lever? sun shade? seat belt?

On the plastic I dont use anything. If it really is in need as in tight or squeaky on the interior 3/in 1 oil, one or two drops .
Mostly oiling/grease is a magnet for dirt, dust, allergens, pollen, food particles, hair follicles, leading eventually to interior sneezing/wheezing aaaaahchew, ..
Then severe service is required eventually of interior plastic cause I worry about...biological warfare/ & then decontamination :icon_lol:

I like getting my palms greased, doesn't happen as often as I'd like though!

I think silicon spray lube doesn't gum up much and attract much dirt.
