Stihl grease

[Ben S]

I curious on your thoughts on the Stihl grease. I’m not a big fan of expensive brand products. And i was wondering if it’s oke to replace both transmission and multi purpose grease from Stihl with standard lithium grease when i increase the frequency of adding.

Thanks in advance!

I use the Stihl grease on bearings and trimmer heads. I don't go through gobs of it, so I'm not worried about getting a bigger tube of less expensive. I have som lithium lube too, but use the Stihl grease on all of my OPE.

hacskaroly is right on the money. Yes, the Stihl grease is expensive but a tube will last you a year or more. It is cheap insurance in the long run.

I press generic MoS2 containing grease in most everything, Croatian brand (INA LIS MOS EP2).
It is soft & gets liquid relatively fast when exposed to heat.

I also have some special "vibration & shock" reducing grease, but don't recall its name right now.
That stuff is very sticky compared to the generic grease.

No idea regarding the Stihl grease, it'd never cross my mind looking it up lest buying any.

I use this in 90% of all my applications.
