I picked up a tube of Green Grease to use to lube up my UMI suspension parts. It was the only type the store carried that was in a small quantity. I was wondering if anyone had used this brand and how well it works on suspension components. Thanks!

Marine grease is best. UMI also says to use it.

Green Grease is considered marine grease is it not?

I don't know if I have ever seen that.

We always recommend the Super Lube grease, it is heavy and thick.

We had a few Roto-Joints come back because of warranty issues/repairs and the ones that used the Super Lube grease were in considerable better condition than ones with red and brown grease.

green grease isn't always marine grease, don't go simply by the color.
marine grease is generally a calcium sulfonate soap type, as opposed to lithium complex which is what all wheel bearing and chasis greases are.

polyurea grease is also green, usually a lighter green.
I know Lucas sells a grease which is polyurea, what make or brand of grease did you buy, and from where? look for "soap type" or "base type" printed on the tube.

for the roto-joint being what it is, it's not the soap type of the grease that will matter as much as the solids in the grease such as moly or ptfe which is what's doing much of the protecting, you want a grease with some kind of ep (extreme-pressure) protection. I also wouldn't get a thick or hard grease because it's not going to flow and distribute in the roto-joint, this would include the lucas light green polyurea grease. I would guess the superlube does so well because it has a very buttery texture and is very smooth so it's getting distributed throughout the rotojoint and getting between all the contact points.

Haha I think people are getting a little confused. The brand grease is called "Green Grease". Thanks for all the info 1FMF. It does state that it is an EP compound. It does not have a base/soap type on the package. Here is a data sheet on it and MSDS. I picked it up mainly because it looked to be the best product that came in the 3oz cartridges which fit my gun.

When I received my new UMI panhard rod 2 weeks ago the paperwork inside said to use Marine Grease, because it repels water better. Thats why I mentioned it. We had some so thats what we used.
