    Greasing my Cub Cadet Zero turn mower first time - Is Moly appropriate?

    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

    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?
