I know this topic has been hashed over but didn't see anything on using Amsoil grease for spring motor rebuilds. I had been using Mobile 1 full synthetic grease since day one but wanted to step it up a little with some high performance grease to see if i get better performance. I unfortunately won't be around in 100 years to see if it out performs the Mobile 1 but think it might. I already know the vasseline-graphite mix didn't work out well after chiseling it out of so many motors. I got two types, their Dominator racing grease and their Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease, NLGI #2. I may try mixing the two together to see how that works. Any thoughts or input on this?

I'm a fan of mixing Redline ATF and Redline grease to make a slow flowing grease. Works great. I use this in steering boxes also.

Amsoil products have the highest lubricity rating of all of the synthetics. I've been using in my 1996 van which has 285,000 on the original motor and still doesn't burn any oil!

Well, UPS is delivering it today. I will use it on my next restore and report back. Thanks for the tips (it works great & don't bother).
