I wrote it based on Hazet’s suggestion. It’s not a strong personal opinion—just an advisory note to show people that this could be a viable alternative if they already have the Shimano grease
Hazet recommends using NLGI‑1 or lighter grease for their HiPer 90‑tooth ratchets. Since I’m a bike guy, I use Shimano Y3B980000 — a grease formulated for bicycle hubs — which appears to be an NLGI‑0 grade and works perfectly for my hi tooth count ratchets.
