[TowerTalk] Prop Pitch Grease preference or recommendation

[Mac]

Paul thank you much, The K7NV website is a terrific source of all solid 
information, and i guess i missed where this grease type is mentioned. 
But indeed you nailed it my yester-year grease has broken down, but 
really even "yester-year" grease if at my worst effort, if it last as 
long as it did this last effort that puts me at age 90 and im wondering 
about that possibility.  So yup im going with "lube for life"  thanx

I have rebuilt gearboxes in other devices and have used either Mobil1 or Valvoline SynPower.  In this application, it should work as a "lube for life" grease.  100% synthetic grease doesn't break down over time like most petroleum and lithium-based greases of yester-year.

Additionally any source beyond cutting out and making my own replacement gaskets is welcomed, as an experience K7NV is not receptive to providing these unless he has also reworked or rebuilt the PP in question
