What's your favorite grease?

[jTr]

As I prepare to clean/re-grease racks as part of routine maintenance, looks like I need to purchase more grease. I've been using a lithium grease that is black. I've got a new wide-belt that utilizes a white lithium, and am thinking of switching to that for the 'bot for two reasons:
- Consistency with all machines in shop - only one type to purchase.
- would like to avoid the black rack lines I get on my bright white "T"s from leaning over the edge. :rolleyes:

Any input on grease type would be appreciated, particularly regarding the use of the white stuff and resources.

Thanks!

You could change to black T's:D

White lithium is a good lube and is what I am using

Over the last few years I've been using spray on high tech motorcycle chain grease. Seems to work just fine, leaving a thinner coating than white grease.

I'd be interested if anyone else had any pros or cons on this lubricant.
