I am restoring a 77 Spit with 160,000 miles. I have put more than half of the
miles on this car in 12 years. Until I rebuilt the front end during the
present restoration, I had been putting a medium weight high temp "red" grease
used in packing wheel bearings on most General Aviation aircraft. When I
dismantled the suspension, I found the trunions to be like new. I never knew
about the preference for "oil" until I read it during reassembling. I think I
will stick with the grease.
