Default Cleaning Forge Diverter Valves...

Does anyone know exactly what type (brand name) of high temperature grease to buy when cleaning forge diverter valves. Also where to buy this. I know Canadian Tire has some high temp greases but i am not sure which one to get.

TIA

Default Mobil 1 synth grease is what is used. Not sure where to get it here. >>

The Canadian Tire stuff is crap. i've used it....you'll need to lube your DV every 2 weeks. That stuff just doesn't last.

Default Yeah i know, someone told me that C.T. stuff is crap.

I seached the archives and found people use Mobil 1 high temp grease, but I have no idea where to get it in Canada.

Default Super Lube

<center><img src="http://www.micro-tools.com/Merchant2/images/sl12cc.jpg"></center><p>Super Lube with Syncolon (PTFE) is a multi-purpose lubricant, safe to use on anything that slides, swivels, rolls or squeaks. It withstands temperatures within a range of -45 degrees to 450 degrees F. Superlube aerosol contains a solvent that evaporates upon exposure to air. The film of lubricant remaining forms a non-toxic, anti-corrosive shield that prevents rust and is imprevious to salt water. Super Lube is a synthetic, heavy duty lubricant that is compatible with most other lubricants.
