Rykon #2EP?

[i386]

My parts manual says to lube various points in the linkage and other parts as well with Rykon #2EP. From my searches I have found that this is an old Amoco product and is a hydrocarbon grease (whatever that means) . I don't think this lubricant is available anymore. <br /><br />What should I lube my linkages with and also the pinion gear (for pull starting)?

I don't know, but I would use a white lithium grease.<br /><br />Ok, now someone can tell us the right answer.

The #2 EP grease is the proper viscosity to look, that is Grade 2 Extreme Pressure grease. I would only use a marine grade grease that will survive water wash down.<br /><br />I use an OEM grease for marine purposes with this viscosity rating. It's also good for trailer wheel bearings and the propeller spline. Get a grease gun for all these chores and put "bearing buddies" in your trailer.<br /><br />If you can contact AMOCO and ask them the substitute and post it here that would be great!

Another important product is a marine anti seize compound for the propeller spline, the water pump housing screws.

RyKon #2EP equates to US Marine All-Purpose Marine Grease T2961.<br />Source-Seloc Manual for Chrysler page 3-8.

Scotiany:<br /><br />In my manual T2961 is the Chrysler part number for Rykon No. 2EP. Is it the same part for US Marine?

Try going to the Pennzoil site. They have a multi purpose marine grease and its specs. I use it myself.
