Re: Best grease for gears?
White lithium grease has been the typical grease teams use for gears in FRC applications.

I recently packed the wheel bearings in one of my vehicles with some Coastal brand EP grease containing Moly. It seemed like a really nice grease. Not sure if it'd be good for gears or not,

I know BaneBots recommends Mobil XHP 222 for their planetary gearboxes.
