Lithium soap based grease, better if marine grade (water resistant). And welcome to the site!

Cool grease info

 Lithium-soap grease handles extremes of temperature quite well, which makes them highly suitable for both high and low temperature application.  They have a dropping point of approximately 350ºF, and can be used in continuous temperatures of 300ºF.  One reason for their successful low-temperature performance is that they are made with oil having a low pour point.  In fact, lithium-soap greases have been used successfully at temperatures of -60ºF.  Use of a lithium-soap grease at higher temperatures requires a different formula, however, the same grease can't be used at both extremes of high and low temperatures because the change would be in the viscosity of the oil used in the grease.

Basically, lithium-soap greases have very good stability; good water resistance, and are also readily pumpable.  They have a buttery texture and a brownish-red color.

Hmm cool.  I read up on grease at the McMaster-Carr site. WOW..

Just curious now.. Where do you guys buy grease for quads? Any particular brand? I noticed Rocky Mountain carries one brand of gun tube grease..

Thanks

I just used the valvoline synthetic stuff from vatozone...no issues here. It's the suspension stuff.
