Anyone mechanically knowledgeable here. This video says that in the mower spindle , you basically are greasing the shaft not the bearing. He even confirms that in comments. If this is true, whether you use moly or non moly. You are not greasing bearing anyways

found the fact sheet it says valvoline full synthetic gray moly fortified grease has 2.5% moly. Is it so that the existing grease in the spindles will not be compatabile with this moly additives with full synthetic graese? my user manual is not as explicit saying No Moly , No Heavy Duty, No High...

The valvoline gray full sythetic grease does say that itis lithium complex it says following NLGI #2 GC-LB lithium complex EP grease Just that it is Moly fortified. I read there are 3% and 5% Moly. not sure which one is this.

on spindle page manual says nothing specific about which grease. on wheel page, it says no2 multi purpose grease. I do not see any problem taking BITOG opinion. That is what forum exist for. I know I am double the interval but I rather do it right now.

Hi there, I bought Cuc Cadet entry level PRO mower for my Acreage last year and it now has approx 60 hours on it. It is steering wheel based zero turn not those bar type. I did not know about Greasing and have not greased it even once. Manual says to grease front wheels ( 2 zerk fittings on...

Thanks BornSlippy, I will try and track the deals on oil but Mobil1 EP 0W20 is advertised as 25000 Kms. Do the short winter trips makes the oil really that bad to change it @6000 Kms? I can take the car for a spin of few hundreds kms to evaporate any moisture ( I hope it already does that now...

I also dont think that there is any lasting damage because he added half a quart each week. Fresh oil should have somewhat kept the additive pack alive

Hi there , back again ... I have had 2 years yearly oci with M1 0W20 extended performance. No issues so far. Since last change in June 2022 I have only riven 6000 kms ( 3700 miles) .. because the car burns some oil, I had added 1/2 litre around Nov. With this less driving , can I go another...

I have Stihl Kombi KM94R with Straight Shaft Line trimmer FS-KM. It works well on tall grass, weed and lilac

Searching on forum, I found that these Small engine oil might have high amount of Zink which is now prohibited in latest API standards. Amaoil metric is SM whereas Small engine oil is SL . Does high Zink etc matter?

Yes, I get that. Indeed that is the same logic I applied when I bought my mower last year and went to stores to buy oil. There were not many 10W40 full Synthetic ( that is my condition. I dont want to use Dino or Semi synthetic) in Canadian Stores so when I saw 10W40 metric oil, I thought , if...

There are two oils I am comparing Amsoil Synthetic Small Engine Oil and Amsoil Synthetic Metric MotorCycle oil, both in 10W40 Small Engine oil has Noack 3.7 and HTHS 4.4 whereas Metric Motorncyle oil has Noack 7.2 and HTHS 4.7 Application is Kawasaki FR730V Engine on a Cub Cadet LawnMower...

What do you mean by pump loosing prime. There is 2.1 liter oil in the sump now, Whenever I start ( now or after 6 months) pump will work same way . Isn't it

I can try this, how do you squirt oil , how much using what?

I have put some Truefuel in it for winter storage purposes. After burning all my regular ethanol mixed fuel , I put 1 litre true fuel in it and ran for a while for truefuel to circulate through the fuel system . This should ensure proper functioning of the Carburettor etc. Then I stopped and...
