Was surfing a BMW site and found this posting: Honda Moly 60 (the go to lube for clutch and driveshaft splines) has been discontinued.
It has been superceeded by Honda M77, but that is not the same animal. There is no listing on the tube or any listing of it that states the % of Moly content (although you might guess it to be 77%, but you might be wrong). The only application that I have found listed for it is for brake caliper assembly on Honda Civics. NOTHING about splines, nothing about motorcycles.
The temp. rating for the M77 is 450 deg. The temp rating for Moly 60 is 750 deg. in a sliding application and 1500 deg. in a non sliding application. DEFINITELY NOT the same animal.
The Honda forums have been abuzz for several months with people wondering what they are going to go to.
The local Honda dealers knew nothing about it until I bought them out of Moly 60. The parts guys saw in there computers that it was NLA. When I asked their service depts. what they were going to use once their tube in the shop ran out, they didn't have a clue. So much for Honda Service Bulletins.
....it's not like any of the Honda service tech's put anything on other than grease anyway
