Gear Oil== Gear Oil ==Change Gear Oil== Change Gear Oil ==== Spline Lubricants ==Grease your drive splines each time you change your rear tire. The drive splines get surprisingly hot. Additionally, there's a lot of pressure on the splines and a lot of back and forth sliding motion. Any liquid type of grease will quickly be squeezed out of the splines, and leave you with no protection.Honda specifies a spline grease which is 60% molybdenum disulfide ("moly"). Moly is a dry lubricant which bonds to the metal surfaces, offering lubrication properties even when the parts have squeezed everything liquid out. A lot of greases now say "Moly" on the container, but you must be careful about this. Ford and Caterpillar specify moly greases for particular applications, but the requirement is for 3% moly, not even close to the 60% requirement of Honda.If you let a dealer or shop change your rear tire, be certain they are using Moly-60 paste or Krytox.Moly greases with 60% + molybdenum disulfide:* Honda Moly 60 paste* LocTite Moly paste, 65% molybdenum disulfide.* TS-70 Moly PasteAn alternative to moly is the new poly-flourinated lubricants made by DuPont called Krytox Teflon Bearing Grease. Nascar mechanics have found that Krytox grease can reduce the temperature of spline joints on drive shafts by 150°. Krytox is compatible with moly - in fact DuPont sells a high pressure Krytox which mixes the two.Krytox greases:* DuPont XHT-AC extra high temperature anti-corrosive Krytox.* DuPont XHT-BDX extra high temperature extra bonding Krytox.* LocTite Krytox HyperLube, pn 29711.
