Does anyone here have any experience with greases that contain PTFE and molybdenum? This sounds good on paper, but seems like it would need some real-world testing.

Feel free to add any of your favorites to the list.

Hello all, Time to finally sell my '93. IMPORTANT: Engine, transmission and transfer case have been pulled out of the vehicle, and are included with sale. $2500 Rust free No lockers Interior is 8/10 cloth Engine, transmission and transfer case have been pulled and are included with the...

Moly grease in the bearings has been tested and produces excellent results. Synthetic grease without moly is another decent choice. Use either with confidence, as long as the FSM specs are met.

Just checking back in here to see how things have been going. Looks like 69000 views on the thread! I have updated the list with some current choices. Glad to see the LC allegiance is as strong as ever! Great product, and it has been added to the list!

Some greases can mix, but I wouldnt recommend it. Recommendations for Mixing Greases Its perfectly ok to have molybdenum in rolling bearings and such, fyi. When you have sliding parts, especially under heavy load, that is where a high pressure lubricant such as molybdenum (moly) is necessary.

Looks like a good grease. It uses a calcium sulfonate thickener, which isn't exactly what the LC FSM specifies, but calcium sulfonate greases are compatible with lithium greases, so you should be ok to mix the two. Calcium sulfonate greases typically outperform lithium greases too.

Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease, NLGI #2 I use this for u-joints and its good stuff

Temp ratings vary, but something suitable to your climate is usually recommended

NLGI 2 is what the FSM specifies

cO Completely agreed

Pulling the 1FZ-FE in my '93 right now, for a full rebuild. This forum is, as always, priceless.

Good observation. I suppose if the grease meets or exceeds all the Toyota FSM specs, there shouldn't be much to worry about. After some really brief scanning of the product description, it would appear that Shell is really trying to market this grease to the heavy equipment industry, even...

For u-joints, I would definitely recommend the Amsoil synthetic moly grease, the stuff is incredible. There's probably a bunch of great choices for the Birfields, the Valvoline VV985 is probably a decent one that's not too hard to find. Greases that have tackifiers are definitely good.

Updated, thanks!
