Wiper motor lubricant

[Scoutdog72]

Does anyone know of a general cross reference available for the various GM lubricants used on the Opel (I'm working on a 72 GT and have a 70 as backup and reference). In particular I was wondering about the grease within the wiper motor assembly - what have people been using. I hate buying a large quantity of something when only a little isused and probably won't be used again. Thanks!was wondering

I have actually never had to lube that part as mine worked fine and already still looked lubed from the factory. Anyway any grease will work. The tub of grease that I have is probably from the seventies and it still is almost full, so you probably wont use it often, but it is rather cheep

I can never remember the name of the stuff, but both Mobil and Valvoline make great high temperature, all or blended synthetic grease that works great for everything. It is super "sticky" and resists washing off well, making it great for chassis lubrication, as well as the usual transmission linkage, wiper gear boxes and ball joints, headlight and parking brake cables, door and hood hinges, and the like. It is also suitable for wheel bearings and u-joints, so you really will find yourself using the stuff!

Besides it is less than $10 a tube, and for the horrible screaching associated with a dry wiper motor to go away that is a bargain even if you throw it away!
