hillrider Posted April 23, 2009 #1 Posted April 23, 2009 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.
BigBoyinMS Posted April 23, 2009 #2 Posted April 23, 2009 Only 3%? The recommended Moly60 is 60%. If it was 30% I would probably use it. EDIT: The Lubriplate website says it's 3-5% Moly.

Boomer.....who figgers you can keep yer toilet seat hinges lubed up nice with that Lubriplate 3000.
KiteSquid Posted April 23, 2009 #4 Posted April 23, 2009 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.
flb_78 Posted April 23, 2009 #5 Posted April 23, 2009 You could just use 100% moly instead. http://www.drillspot.com/products/279987/Loctite_39895_Moly_Dry_Film_Lubricant
N3FOL Posted April 23, 2009 #6 Posted April 23, 2009 I also wouldn't use that on the splines. Majority recommends at least 60% Moly...better be safe than sorry. Ride Safe.

I would jsut use Honda Moly60 paste grease.

Here it is in a paste. http://www.drillspot.com/products/283164/Loctite_51048_Moly_Anti_Seize_Paste
KiteSquid Posted April 24, 2009 #9 Posted April 24, 2009 but not the DI PROPYLENE GLYCOL MONOMETHYL ETHER or the NATURAL GRAPHITE
