Hi folk. What's the best grease classic mini owners use for all grease points including the mk1 1275gt gear shift nipple?
Thanks

Different grease for different jobs - LM for spinney bits like wheel bearings; Moly for stuff that takes a hammering, CV's & suspension joints.

For all the Chassis stuff, where you have Grease Nipples, I've been using this for a good few years and found it quite good;-

Mobil have the same grease,just different packaging.

 

As well as being good, it's easy to come by and attractively priced.
 

For heavy use on the ball joints, I use a Molly Grease there, though in a Mini for normal road and track use, this stuff is fine.

Really? I've always used LM for Ball joints.  Should I be changing to CV grease?
