What is used for the oil or grease component? (please be specific, silicone oil comes in many molecular weights, it changes the creep (loss) rate.)

all I can find is "SECTION 2: INGREDIENTS DIAMOND POWDER Polyol Esters Trade Secret Polymeric Dispersant Trade Secret 1-Methoxy-2-Propyl Acetate Carbon Black "

Best to pump grease is a displacement pump. I do not remember what type of pump that one is

My machine is used daily. Do not have this problem. Very little cooking oil is used to lubricate, one drop or less.

Chamber Lube is a silicon product and is not recommended for use in pneumatics: what you might think to use instead is Pellgun oil...or any non detergent 30W oil

It is never a good idea to mix brands or grades or viscosities. Modern oils and particularly synthetics are highly engineered products and may have additives that don't work well together.

It doesn't say on the packaging. All I could find online was that it is food grade. I've used it on rubber o-rings, but never tried it on silicone o-rings (which I've read is not something you want to use food grade silicone to lubricate).

I purchased the Lifespan Fitness Silicone along with my manual treadmill. To date I haven't had to use any lubricant. I think the silicone lubricant would be better than WD 40 if you ever need a lubricant. My Phoenix treadmill runs just fine with no lubricant.

I found this on the DuPont website: WHEN SHOULD I USE DUPONT™ TEFLON® SILICONE LUBRICANT?DuPont™ Teflon® Silicone Lubricant is great for a wide variety of applications. It is particularly recommended for applications that have any rubber, plastic or wood surfaces.

It's silicon. I contacted JAD Fitness directly through their "contact us" page on their website to ask this exact question. They got right back with me. See their response below...

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash awayfrom the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

Although it might have use as a lubricant, the main purpose I have seen it used for it as a sealant for connections in air lines (for divers) and water/filter lines (for aquarium hobbyists - my own use). I would suggest getting something clearly labeled as a "silicone lubricant" instead of this.

I have order the oil in glass container which is better for the oil. Unlike plastic great for shipping. You can check with the company to see why they changed and if you can have a preference. The website is on the container. The company seens tp care about their products they sale. Yes I am the kinda person to read the fine print of things.

Thanks your a life saver.. worm gear follower was chewed up.. must not be hardened gears. The grease is liquifying so that probably doesnt help matters either. Only a few hours usage, though with stiff batter.Any recommendations on grease? I'm inclined to want to use automotive wheel bearing grease.

Where on the treadmill? Treadmills use wax based lubricant not silicone to lubricate the tread. You risk breaking that tread with silicone lubricant.

There are better lubes for PTO applications. A good grease would probably be better.. but.. in a pinch, if it were going to sit connected and idle for long periods.. it would probably work just fine.

No. I use marine outboard grease. You can use most any grease but traxxas sells small tubes of grease. Oil is too thin. Do not cake the grease in.just give a good coat to all parts.

Don't know. I was looking for a straight 20 weight non-detergent oil. The original auto tranny fluid from the 40s and 50s to put into my 1965 garden tractor hydraulic drive.
