While being less tensacious than a wet grease, I'm planning to try using Dry grease on the following

Chute Collar/Base
Chute Deflector

It's not the salt that I'm concerned about...just the sand...and bearing this area is more exposed
than sealed, I'm thinking Dry is the way to go. I've used Dry Lubes on Chains for years and in the bike world, Dry lube is the leader of where these lubes are at.....

NewYork -

Seems like we share similar thoughts on lubes.
FWIW, I love the Heavy Duty Amsoil Differential Gear Oils...and ATF.
I've yet to use SSO, etc....I've got other oils I like already.....


Wurth HHS oil is great. It sprays and creeps in like a oil, but when it drys, it drys to a light grease.
I use this along on the door hinges, trunk stops, etc...

I like Superlube as a general purpose grease. Marine/weather resistent and for exposed applications, IME, it doesn't attract much dirt, dust, grime.
My go-to grease gun Grease is generally Redline CV2.
Once I settle in on a product I like, it's pretty easy choosing what I have on the shelf....

Never been a fan of lithium. Tons of better stuff out there.
Can't fault those who use them though. Some just don't know any better or are aware of the different lubes out there.

I'm currently in the midst of 2 R&R older snowblowers and the 1st thing I did was citrius wash, with a commercial grade steam cleaner.
I still needed to use the pick to get out the white lithium on certain other areas....I just hate that white stuff...
