Going to re-grease my starter tomorrow. Which type of grease do you guys use? Went to a local auto store and they told me to use Di-electric grease. I read the packaging and it was illustrating its use on SparkPlugs.

Is this ok or is a High temp grease needed?

 

The grease that I used, as well as motorvate.ca if I remember correctly is White Lithium Grease.

 

I used some teflon synthetic grease i had lying around. It's been working fine for months. The starter grindng has gone away completely.

 

Di-Electric grease is for electrical components. The part of the starter your greasing is mechanical. Hi temp wheel bearing grease should do just fine.

 

i am going to do this......wheel bearing grease is the way to go? if so that is what i will be doing, my starter is making a horriebale noise..

 

I used a synthetic grease from Walmart. Looks red in the can for about $5 bucks. Regreased about a year ago. So far, so good!!

 

thanks dudes...not too sure why the guy told me dielectric grease.. he did say that the starter is an electrical componenet. Now I am not a mechanic but it sounded odd to me.

Will use some synthetic white grease.

k.

 

He probably thought you wanted to dab some on the terminals. I used bearing grease in the tubs myself.

 

Can you grease a starter with it on the car?? or does it have to be removed... I just replaced one but need to regrease the other car... thanks

 

it definitley has to be removed. You are basically dissasembling the whole starter. See the motorcate.ca instructions.

 

White Lithium Grease is what i used
