Ideal grease for plastic gears


Then, it was time to rebuild the transmission. The mane interest was applying a new grease to try to reduce the noise. After at least 15 years, lions finally narrowed down the ideal lubrication for plastic gears to silicone grease. It's not sold in the lubricant sections of any stores. It doesn't show up in any searches for axle grease. It's only in searches for plumbing grease. This is the transparent grease used in plastic toys & plastic servo gears. The key ingredient is Polydimethylsiloxane.
