What type of grease should I use for the two springs in the back of the RT regulator? There's no grease left on either of my Retro Valves as they're both around 14 years old and years of cleaning them has cleaned all the grease off. Do I use Lithium grease or something more like bearing grease?

Either is fine. All the grease does is keep the springs from rusting. Grease is used vs oil as it stays in place better. -
Ah ok, I thought the grease might serve some other purpose, heh! Thanks for the reply OPBN.

Dow 33 works fine. Even Autolube or any other light oil works. Its just that light oil evaporates off and leaves the springs dry and prone to rusting. Any good quality grease that stays moist will work best. White lithium grease is recommended because it doesn't get stiff and gummy in cold weather.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment
