Help me lube my shaft like Diddy

[Colo_Ranger]

Come on... that's just a fun title.

Anyway - I have the Tom Woods driveshaft and its time to lube the slip joint. Tom Woods recommends Phillips 66 Multiplex 220 #1 but is sold out. I tried searching Google for alternate retailers but they, too, are sold out.

I read online and Super Lube seems like a good option. Is there anything else I should be looking at? A mechanic friend recommended silicon based, but TW recommends calcium sulfonate. Google is coming up short on options in calcium sulfonate so... I am taking other opinions.


If you've used a good grease, I would love a recommendation.

Diddy's got a lot of these...must be good...

I heard @subquark is pretty good at pleasuring and making ones shaft smooth. Might end up with some leakage after a few minutes.

single piece drive shaft - what about the critical speed you're going to make the shaft explode and it is going to go everywhere. . .

I've got like 15000 miles on without issue. The critical speed is 90 mph, of which I don't do... We good.

Nope, I read in an internet forum that a guy who has 25k posts said they are bad. He must know what he's talking about, he wouldn't blabber in the internet if he didn't.... ?

Did you mean sph; strokes per hour?

I remember running to Grainger for Mobil 1 grease, couldn't find it anywhere else and I was impatient.

Tom Woods specifies a NLGI #1 for the shaft of your Woody.

Woody's, shafts exploding, lube?!

Where am I again?

Oh, right...Tom Woods recommends keeping it under 100mph with 265/70/17 and you'll keep critical speed below their safety threshold. Should be fine for most of us who don't live near Nurburgring.

Same guy turned me on to using Toyota bump stops to fix the nefarious Ranger bed rake.

Some people just should not be allowed to own a vehicle.
