White grease ??

Posted by HH56 On 2014/1/3 14:22:08

Just curious what grease others are using for things that slide but are typically inaccessible -- like inner door lock and window regulator parts. I want something that will last or lubricate longer than a few months.

Manuals say use grease or white grease so I take that to mean something like Lubriplate. I removed some components from the door this morning and found remnants of something that might have been white grease. It had dried and was hard with no lube abilities left at all. No idea if original or redone at some point but at any rate, failure is understandable after many years. What is a bit concerning is I had done a trunk lock several months ago using white lithium grease which I think might be the same as Lubriplate. Checked and found it has already started to turn brown and is on the way to sticky. I can think it is not long before that grease will have minimal lubricating ability.

Suggestions for a long term years and not months grease??
