“Husqvarna Special Grease”

[Chevyc10]

Husqvarna grass trimmers and hedge trimmers require grease in gear box. Husqvarna specs “Husqvarna Special Grease”, no other specs given. 14oz tube $27.00 Does anyone know actual specs on this grease ? Don’t want to use wrong product and void warranties on my equipment.
Use Mystik JT6 multi-purpose hi-temp on everything else mower spindles, chainsaw bars, various equipment.

When the seal failed in my rotary brush mower I filled it with this 00 grease from Tractor Supply. That was four years ago and it's still doing fine, and that's a much higher stress load than a weed trimmer. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/super-s-cotton-picker-spindle-grease-00

How long is your warranty? My Husqvarna trimmer head is 7-8 years old now and hasn't been greased so i suspect anything you add will only help. Even if you do nothing at all it will probably survive well past the warranty period.

My old, 30+ year old Husky 32R is using whatever #2 lithium bearing grease happens to be closest when I need to grease it.

probably a nlgi 1 grease would be what is used with moly. a number nlgi 2 may channel too much.

My Maruyama and Husqvarna timmers get filled with Oregon chainsaw bar grease. It's a #2 Hi temp lithium grease made by Hallbauer. The Maruyama OEM grease is nothing special just a #2 lithium complex.
My one remaining Stihl gets Stihl Superlub FS that threads directly into the bevel gear.
Just about any grease is better than nothing.

“Husqvarna Special Grease”​

Sounds like a marketing term to me.

Don't use a clay based grease, it doesn't mix with soap based greases.
