I found a half can of lubriplate 3000 (3% moly) in the shop. Any reason it wouldn't be good enough for drive shafts???

 

Hate to toss anything if its got any good to it. And I've seen this stuff in a covered but not sealed environment stay wet for 2 years.

From their tech sheet

 

  Quote
LUBRIPLATE No. 3000 and No. 3000-W are recommended for:

  • Heavy-Duty Chassis Lubrication
  • Ball Joints, King Pins, Steering Knuckles
  • Fifth Wheels
  • Bucket Loader Ball Joints
  • Open Gears, Racks, Cams, Slides and Ways
  • Underwater Applications
  • Plus, wherever a black, moly, graphite, adhesive lubricant is required

 

 

Looking at that list, I would NOT use Lubruiplate 3000 on my splines, but I would use it on my brake caliper bolts, clutch and brake lever pivots on my bike.

I also wouldn't use that on the splines. Majority recommends at least 60% Moly...better be safe than sorry.

According to the MSDS there is also:

 

Acetone

Isopropanol

DI PROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOMETHYL ETHER

NATURAL GRAPHITE

Methyl Ethel Ketone

Propane

Methyl-benzene

 

 

But these are the ingredients that must be listed on a MSDS, and there may be other components.

 

I would jsut use Honda Moly60 paste grease.

Whoops, yeah, that was the aerosol. Those are the propellants in the can, but they'll evaporate and it'll be a dry film of moly.

 

Here it is in a paste.
