What grease has anyone used on a GD 23HP longtail besides the red GD grease? I'm thinking any marine type high quality grease should be OK. Anything to definitely NOT use? |

I use AMS oil and have not had a problem. Very good chemistry in their products. I also use it in all my trailer bearings and hit the grease points with it on my Honda 15hp outboard. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I must have got a bad tube of the Lucas red n tacky because I used it on a trailer when I put new wheel bearings in and that stuff got runny like honey and leaked out of some brand new bearing buddys. |

Sounds like it. I've been using it for years on all sorts of equipment and never had an issue with it thinning. I replaced my trailer hubs and bearings a couple months ago and haven't seen anything come out of the bearing buddies except for what leaked out the relief hole like it's supposed to. |

Just remembered a good one- Aqualube, I think the company is in Ky. If you have some extra dough, Mobil 1 synthetic is very good also; after break-in, or after your first oil change, IMO both synthetic oil and grease are recommendable. |

I run Mobil1 grease in the 5th wheel. Synthetic Rotella 5W-40 oil in the GD and all the other small engines. I'm experimenting with WalMart marine grease in the GD trailer bearings. So far it works good. I can't find that old Pennzoil blue marine grease anywhere. Lucas Red & Tacky will go in the GD. |

If I remember correctly, any waterproof #2 grease is fine. But, I always used Aqualube. You won't save any money if you have a bearing failure because of cheap grease. |
