Hello All,

Milwaukee sells this grease in a huge can. I will only need a few table spoons at the most, so this size isn't an option. Can anyone recommend a similar, or equivalent grease to work in both a M18 and M12 impacts and where to get it?


Thank you!!!!

Acording to Milwaukee pdf their type "J" grease is polyurea grease

I have seen small tubes of it available online, price isn't cheap but better than the can

TIY383 - Grease - Milwaukee Tool

"Polyurea base lubricant that is very stable in shear type applications. Note: polyurea base is not compatible with other grease bases and should not be mixed"

Thanks

I haven't extensively searched for the lowest price because I've got some more power tools to work on before I get to the Milwaukee impact driver that calls for this grease. The initial price that came up for 1lb of J grease was around $30.

Funny you mentioned it being urea based, when I first opened up the gearcase, to me it smelled like a general lithium grease, but someone could've added more grease to it at some point in time.

You call a one pound can a "HUGE" can? I thought you were bitchin' about a five gallon bucket of this stuff.

Why do you need to use special, doesn't-mix-with-other-grease polyurea grease if you're taking the thing apart?

Clean it up, remove all the grease that doesn't play nice with others, and install DIFFERENT GREASE.

Well to me grease smells like grease :lol_hitti

But keeping inline with prior post any polyurea I think maybe just fine John Deere markets an awesome one and any tractor store even TSC ahould have some version.

This is from Schafer oils

278 Polyurea Grease - Schaeffer Oil



Polyurea Grease is a premium quality multipurpose, high temperature, extreme pressure polyurea grease that is specially formulated to provide the severe lubrication requirements of plain and rolling-element bearings in long service applications such as electric motor bearing, sealed for life bearing, high temperature pump bearing and automotive constant velocity joint applications.

Polyurea Grease is blended and compounded with high quality base oil, an ashless organic polyurea thickener coupled with rust and oxidation inhibitors and an extreme pressure additive system that is non-corrosive to yellow metals. This formulation provides the Polyurea Grease with the following features and benefits:

1. Excellent thermal and oxidation stability. 2. Excellent high temperature performance. 3. Very good resistance to water washout and water spray-off. 4. Increased durability and shear stability versus conventional polyurea greases when subjected to mechanical shear stresses and forces. 5. Excellent rust and corrosion protection. 6. Excellent wear and extreme pressure protection. 7. A high load-carrying capacity. 8. Low noise properties. 9. Long service life and bearing life.

Polyurea Grease is recommended for use in the following applications:

Electric motor bearings especially high output (horsepower), high load electric motors  Unsealed electric motor bearings operating under moist conditions  Fin fan bearings  High-temperature pump bearings  Sealed-for-life bearings  Antifriction bearings operating at high speeds (10,000 rpm and greater)  Automotive wheel bearings, chassis parts and underhood applications such as alternators, air conditioner compressor clutch bearings, water pumps and idler pulleys.

Ball or roller bearings operating at high temperatures where low oil separation is required.  Constant velocity joints  Agitator bearings in washing machines  Bearing applications requiring a high-temperature, extreme pressure, long life grease  Applications where low noise operations are beneficial or required

Thanks, I have some Mobil polyurea bearing grease that I bought not to long ago that I might use. In regard to grease smelling like grease, the urea base has a distinct smell that's different than a general purpose lithium grease.
