Yeah I tried this guy but seems he won't sell to me unless I have an American Credit card or American Paypal. Not sure how to do that from Canada. I thought PayPal was good anywhere. I did give him a US address that I use and corresponded with my business email address. Anyway that's my own problem I guess. I read the MSDS and we have a Millitary grade grease here called Metalon. Not sure if it's the same but it's blue and really stringy like spider webs. Expensive too...does that seem ok? It apparently can blend with other grease and not lose effect.

How much GAA do you want?

 

[aboonski]

Like to find a local source for GAA grease to fill my lube trailer, Central Florida area.

aboonski,

You can find better quality red multi purpose grease commercially in bulk from a major company at a oil jobber. Valvoline (same as napa brand) sells in bulk at Napa but you can probably do better at a distributor in the small barrels.

What's a good replacement brand that I can go to the local napa store to purchase 2 tubes. I just read all 60 plus post, it would be nice if someone would just put "I use brand X, purchased at X auto parts/Wallyworld etc" instead of yada yada yada, MIL specs, blah blah blah. What ever happened to the KISS response. I won't tell you how much I had to read on the ins and outs of GL-1 vs GL-5, one guy you'd swear acted like someone said something about his mother - that was a turn off for a new guy to this site. For the most part most of the interaction has been positive. Thanks in advance, keep it fun.

Valvoline Cerulean Grease

I found this older thread while researching what kind of grease to put in a M925A2 steering knuckle.

I appears to be diffucult to find new GAA grease so I'm trying to find a commercial equivilant.

Has anyone tried Valvoline Cerulean grease? It appears to meet most GAA grease specs except High Temp life hours, 80 vs 100. I don't any commercially available grease will meet all to GAA specs and I don't see myselfe driving in the middle of Death Valley in August. I need something that I can get locally and on the road if needed.

Specs below for comparison... any experience reports would be appreciated.

"back from the dead" as they say.. I have a few new tubes of GAA still left I'm selling. If you want one let me know!

 

[almalo1ny]

Here is a grease which I have used in my M35A3 and also know many who use it in mining and saw mill industry. It is also catalogued into Canadian National Defense System CGCS for use in military equipment. Google it and find it on other forums as well. http://metalonproducts.com/technical.htm

I use the Mobile 1 red synthetic in everything anymore. Haven't had any problems and it available form most automotive sources. Since the major point of greasing parts is to push out the old contaminated grease and replace it with clean I figure soon enough it will all be Mobile 1. As far as wheel bearings I always clean them and repack with Mobile 1, so not compatibility issue. I'm a strong believer in KISS.
