Try one of the greases made by Lubrication Engineers. I'll admit they are usually a little more expensive on most of their products than others but their stuff is well worth the extra expense. Actually with most of their stuff even though you pay a little more initially you come out money ahead in the end because their products outlast most others. Then factor in less wear for a given amount of product and your even further ahead when all is said and done. We started using LE greases and oils in our trucks and on our personal equipment after seeing the results one of our customers had with it in his quarry. He has been using their products in his equipment ( currently a D9G CAT, a 980 CAT loader, a Northwest80D w/front shovel attachment, etc) for over 30 years and has never had a lubrication related failure of any type. In fact he once said that being a independent, in a business that usually takes a major amount of capitol, often left him having to buy equipment that wasn't in the best of shape (ie-junk) but that no matter how "junky" it was when it came in it didn't get any junkier when he started using their stuff on it. Having worked on his stuff I can vouch for that. In the end though everybody always has their own personal prefference. Just don't let a few dollars here and there decide what products to use. I've seen the results of that at another BIG quarry when their "suits" started making the decisions, and it isn't a pretty site. Not to mention the few dollars they saved they spent about 100 times over paying us for repairs that came about way too premature. Here is a link to the LE site..........Just my .02
