Hey All. Not a geeky oil, grease guy so needing your assistance with what grease is what and how to find an equivalent.. Thanks in advance..

Grease A - SHELL Alvania R3 - Multipurpose, medium fibre, lithium grease.
Grease B - SHELL Retinax HDX2 - Molybdenum disulphide grease, high mechanical stress and high temperature resistant
Grease C - SHELL Retinax LX2 - Bearing/joint grease for parts subject to prolonged mechanical stress. Temperature range: -10 to 110 °C
Grease D- SHELL Retinax HD2 - Protective grease, with anti-corrosive and waterproofing properties
Grease E - PANKL - PLB 05 - Grease
Grease F - OPTIMOL - PASTE WHITE T - Grease
Grease G - PANKL - PLB07 - Grease
Grease H - KLÃœBER STABURAGS NBU 30 PTM - Grease
Grease I - CUPRUM 320 - Copper Grease
 
Actually a very good question!
What's your intention? A list of comparable products available in the US?

I use Motorex because it's a Swiss brand with good reputation:

Motorex Lithium Grease 218M (I use this for almost everything execept bearings or highly stressed stuff, really super stuff)

Motorex Grease 177 for Grips, corrosion protection of my tools, assembling bearings and such things

Motorex Copper Paste

For Molybdenum, I go with Molycote
 
Yessir Urs a list of comparable products in the US.. I wonder if we can get Motorex..
 
Castrol has no answer for equivalents.. WTH.. They dont recommend their grease for Ducatis lol.. WTH is that.. Still searching..
 
Ok here we go.. Belray kicks ass..

Grease E and on no answer yet.
 
heres my opinion

A,B,C,D can be safely replaced with lucas oil , bel-ray, spectro , maxima, and fuchs silcoline . or any reputable motorcycle lubricants. most sell equal or superior products. I think for "A" I'd go with lucas lithium . and bel ray, specto and possibly silcoline for the rest .

E looks to be for the rods. are you tearing down the motor to that level?

I'd use a reputable assembly grease/lube for E and F


Id guess copper grease is generic and you just run into a auto parts store and ask for anti-seize .

Standard makes an ep2 light bodied light colored grease with a high drop point and excellent cold flow . I have used this greese on wheel bearings in the Un limited Silver State Challange cars
we have built over the years, including the current record holder 217.557 mph average speed over the 92 mile run, with an officially recorded top speed of 249mph (radar gun max) and 252 mph GPS. I use it because it has almost no drag, yet stays in place. The bearing speeds at that speed are mind boggling. Post race inspection revealed no hot spots, galling or brinelling.

Hey Mike

Just talked to some old italian motorcycle techs (MV and Ducati).
for the front and rear axle (heavy duty/corrosion resistant), they make an oath on Loctite 8009...

Hopefully you never need E. It's for the con rod bolts!

Aha, that explains the thick black .... that was all over the swingarm bolts, when I recently tore down my new 1299S

So the belray waterproof grease is still good for a substitute grease B? Need to use on axle rods and can't tell if this is right.

It better be because I used it on mine and that wheel spins beautifully when on the front stand... :cool:
