On the contrary. In all the rotors I rebuild in Saskatchewan, I use
Canadian Tire low temperature grease, which is recommended for
snowmobiles and I believe is NGLI grade 00.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Emoto Rotor
Ray,
For what it is worth, I don't believe there is any grease that is
suitable
for a rotator. In the winter, the viscosity is so high, the rotor
strains or
stalls. Over time, the grease hardens, losing its ability to lubricate,
and
eventually the bearings and races become destroyed.
I have always used AW-32 hydraulic oil in my rotors and have never had
a
failure. It doesn't take much to lube the balls (or bearings), just a
coating -
you don't want oil sloshing around inside the rotor!
I am interested in other's opinion...
