Ok, I'll be the odd man out
Never used the Honda Moly grease
Never measure how much I put on, just make sure that all the splines are flooded in grease.
Never replaced the 2- O-Rings in 65,000 miles.
Product I use is for the splines is an industrial application, lithium polymer ("MOBIL GREASE XTC"AGMA-type CG-1/CG-2 high-speed, flexible couplings) that is used for gear couplings in say pulp and paper or refineries.
I'm going to experiment and try another product from Mobil, it's called Mobilux EP 111 Lithium AGMA-type CG-1/CG-3 couplings in the near future.
This grease stays in these gear couplings at my work for years and sometimes we check them. Preventative maintenance ..
Most machines that have this type of grease run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
My rear tire lasts about 18,000 miles, so that's my interval on changing out the grease on the final drive splines.
Oh, by the way, my splines still look like new.
Also, I've removed the OEM grease out of the 2 final drive ball bearings and put in some MOBIL SHC 220 synthetic grease in them.
Packed them solid with this grease and then put the seals back on the bearings.
You'll really be surprised when you pull the bearing seal off and see how little grease there is in these new bearings.
The bearing manufactures don't know if this bearing is going to turn at 100 RPM or 20,000 rpm, so they put in an amount for the 20,000 RPM, very little.
My way of thinking is when I packed my bearings on my cars years ago, I packed them full, so that's what I do now on the final drive bearings.
... you can get tickets at Fiesta for $5 ... at the track, $1 Cokes, $1 hot dogs, $1 beer (other foods as well). It's a 1/8 mile concrete track, so every Sat we watch Dwarfs, EcoStocks, Trucks, and Modifies - it's all fun!!. Gates open at 6, racing at 7. Right next door is an 1/8 drag strip (Fri nights). We enjoy going just because it's close, inexpensive, and just "something different to do" on a Sat night. Rio Bravo motocross track is next door (I used to race there back in the '70s).
