Hi folks. I have an Ariens 7524 that I bought in Nov 05. I'm performing some maintenance on it and I had a question about grease. I'm not a grease guy so bear with me.

The manual recommends Stens Hi-temp grease for the zerk fittings and other grease points but I can't find it anywhere in Ontario. Canadian Tire sells a "#2 Lithium" grease in a small tube which is more appropriate for the amount of grease involved here and requires a smaller, cheaper grease gun.

Would it be OK to use the #2 Lithium on the Ariens or would I be better advised to get an official hi-temp grease?

Also, is "lithium" grease the standard grease type that is generally used for everyday stuff?

Thanks for any advice!

Bob

Any high temp grease will work, stens is just a after market parts source. So its just high temp grease with their name on it. Go buy a good high temp grease from anywhere.
