Looking at doing a service on my NEQ6 Pro, what is the best grease to use for re-lube? I have heard that Superlube is popular in the US and I can buy it online here. What is the consensus?
I've tuned two mounts with Superlube and cannot recommend it more. its really good and allowed a fine mesh with very low backlash.
the type of grease does affect the amount you can mesh without binding.
you can buy it online from Aus.
I got it from here http://www.mektronics.com.au/super-l...-3oz-tube.html
Lithium grease (white) has always been highly recommended however I recently used superlube Teflon based pfte grease and my heq5 is performing brilliantly.
Superlube is it. When looking at buying one I found the cheapest supplier was an Australia ebay store. Every other place had ridiculous shipping charges.
I bought three tubes, if you want one let me know, cost price plus the actual cost of postage. Probably a couple of dollars.
Damn, I just bought one of those tubes with the exorbitant shipping cost. Ah well.
Can't speak to the efficacy of the lube, I've never used another one so I don't even know what to look for. I think I saw another post on here recommending it so that's what I went with.
For my old mount with the RA gear open to the elements Superlube is my choice. Second choice is a bar of yellow laundry soap I have a broter who designs gearboxes for a living. He said in Victorian times soap was used as a lubricant on gears...works pretty good too.
