Best grease for a pilot bushing that goes the distance
What is the best grease to install on a pilot bushing that will last. I am now replacing a worn one that was bone dry, powdery and enlarged. I think I used a run standard axle grease last time. Must be something better.
Suggestions?

I've used dry graphite before but usually I just put a dab of ultra high temp Mystic grease in there before installing the clutch. You don't want to over grease it and chance it being slung on to the clutch.

i thought you weren't supposed to lubricate a pilot bushing because its already impregnated with oil, i thought i read that using grease or oil in addition to this would clog the pores in the bushing and not allow it to correctly excrete the oil

Okay I ended up using brake caliper synthetic that is supposed to resist heat.The last time I used what appears to be kind of marine lube. Prior to this an using the lube I used today, I never had a pilot bushing issue. I certainly can not see running a dry bushing.
Thanks for the replies guys.
