Grease to lubricate mirror motor gears

fe7565 · 10-17-2023, 07:45 PM

Any non-exotic (i.e. inexpensive) grease recommendations to lubricate mirror folding-motor gears? Originally wanted to use white silicone grease but that seems to melt in the heat.

I am doing a retrofit, and while I have the new side mirrors apart, may as well lube the gears.

Super Lube grease, good up to 450F and generally great to just have on hand!
