GrassStripFlyBoy Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Is Mobil 1 synthetic grease acceptable lube on the spar bolts & bushings? I see MM lists these, I'm willing to purchase something but don't want to overlook what I already have. Searching most of these euro grades appears a lithium grease, what's a good US available lube?

Roger Lee Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I use a thin film of Mobile One on the spar pins when I put them back in place after a wing inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Baker Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I use a white lithium grease like the glider guys use. what ever you use, use it sparingly. I have had airplanes come in with globs of grease on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill3558 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 Speaking of grease, I greased my door pins this afternoon. Wow, what a difference! Opening and closing the door is now smooth and effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I lube door pins at every annual. I wipe them off and use silicone paste lube. This makes the door unlatch and latch easier and removes stress on the door mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
