Latest: Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease and Oil - OK to use?

To all:

From the technical support desk at Mobil Corp., I was advised that “if the gearing in the model trains can handle mineral oil, there should be no problem with either Mobil One’s synthetic grease and/or Mobil One synthetic motor oil.” The technical desk: (1-800-662-4525)

Already testimony has come in on this site as to successful use of Mobil One synthetic motor oil.
Safe use of Mobil One synthetic grease completes the picture.

Now, for the inventive among us, what packaging would you use to store and apply the Mobil One synthetic grease - considering it comes in the automotive-style grease gun tubes?

For those who help with large layouts having huge numbers of locos/rolling stock, Mobil One can be a BIG savings – I know working on the 50 Locos and hundreds of cars at Palm Desert’s Living Desert outdoor layout, LGB’s tues of grease and pens of oil ran up a large tab. Now, here is a cost cutter.

You may wish to join the discussion on MyLS on this same topic.
At this point, Raymond 4449 is going to make some tests to ensure that the Mobil grease will adhere to the gears under actual useage.

Humour on:

I would carefully save some toothpaste tubes and refill them. Make up a label that reads “Better than you know what!!!”

Humour gone. :wink: :slight_smile: :wink:
