LOL you know my first thread was about Lubricant. Except I used light vegetable oil but it was only bad if you put on to much on the gears. I dont do it much now.

graphite it the way to go no extra dust

what is the difference between graphite and grease?

moddsmann 10-29-2006 09:51 PM

greese is greese it gets every where and its a pain to graphite is a super dry lube its grinded up lead basicilly

musclecars4life 10-29-2006 10:00 PM

so if its basically lead then how is it better than grease? wont it jam up the gears?

moddsmann 10-29-2006 10:08 PM

c the graphite will still be there a lot longer than the greese but u do put more on it when u do use it

musclecars4life 10-29-2006 10:10 PM

ok so where do you get the graphite?

moddsmann 10-29-2006 10:14 PM

any autoparts store or walmart or if u have some spare wooden pencils just get a knife and the black or gray paart o the pencil scrap it off and you have graphite

musclecars4life 10-29-2006 10:16 PM

ok thanx dude you answered my next question too, 'how do you make it'. thanx dude

keith92 10-30-2006 02:30 PM

if u simply scrape off graphite from a pencil it wont be as hi quality as if u get it from a store or company.my dad gets it from work and just the tiny amoutn that leaked out of the jar made it hard to hold on to.its an extremely good lube for most applications. graphite shaving will provide lubrication but not as much as finely ground store bought graphite.

moddsmann 10-30-2006 04:51 PM

YES that is very true

musclecars4life 10-31-2006 09:57 PM
