I buy pure powder moly and add it to my spline grease. The store bought greases often skip on the moly content, since grease is cheap and moly is tres cher.Joe
I have been using the Wurth grease from MG cycle. That stuff is thicker than gorilla snot,and stays put! Others here recommended it,a few years ago, and I have been very happy with it. I dont think it has Moly, though as its a transparent green color. I guess you can always sprinkle some powdered moly into it.Rick.
I use Aeroshell 64 extreme pressure airframe grease, it's a synthetic Li-based grease and contains 5% moly. Costs ~$20 per tube, but you can get it in smaller quantities from eBay sellers.
BMW Spline paste is good stuff, but very expensive. Avail. in Canada. Mebe cheaper on-line?I still have some Honda Moly60 I bought some years ago. The putative Honda replacement product is NOT a replacement. Not for the same job...
This is what I would use.https://www.tsmoly.com/anti-seize-lubricants-compounds-moly-paste-with-mossub2sub-p-84.htmlFrank
I’m lucky to have a jar of Guard Dog 525 moly spline lube that should last me a while. Don’t think you can buy that anymore. If I didn’t have the GD, I’d probably mix up some Wurth 3000 grease with some moly. I think that is the formula that Paul Glaves, a noted BMW mechanic, uses. Maybe google that name for tips. I’ve read you want a pretty high moly content—like 60%. A lot of the “moly lubes” actually have very little moly, more like 5%. I have no idea if the moly really makes much difference. It would not surprise me if the Wurth grease by itself is sufficient.
I gave up on Honda Moly 60 paste long ago. I found it would totally disappear shortly after being put on the splines. Then there would be a lot of rust.For a while I made a mix of chain lube and Moly 60. That lasted a good bit longer, but still not great. Followed by rust.Now I just use off the shelf Lucas Red N Tacky. It is cheap, and I use plenty of it. It tends to stay in place and I am seeing less rust. Rust has been my main enemy on the splines and steering bearings. The bath in Lucas helps me.
I remember eons ago working at an auto shop and the CV joints coming with a packet of black grease. That was some sticky shit! So what made you decide to go with the a/m Liqui Moly?
Motorcycle chain lube in a spray can. Easy to get the straw in to the four splines. Goes on wet and flows into spines, drys to grease. Give them a shot every couple thousand miles. Wipe off excess. My 200,000 plus truck has never had the splines lubed.
