Try Super Lube 3 Oz Super Lube(R) Grease also available Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Super-Lu...1030/202932687
i gotta chime in on superlube and i dont use it on fuser sleeves as it seem to dry up over time.
there are a lot of aftermarket parts dealer like partsmart and others.
I think the printer community has done a good job with the sleeve lube.
seemed there was some gap where they moved a bit from the metal
They are both going to need sleeves. One is crinkly in the middle, the other looked great initially, until I noticed that a circle of belt about 2mm from one end had completely separated from the rest of the belt. The gears appear to be fine. A lot of good info in this thread. Thanks for the replies.
BTW, here is the grease Ricoh recommends using on c4503 fusers. This is for 3.5 oz. WTF!

NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING
Even buying direct from Ricoh it's still over $230. I think at one point they explained why they switched from the Barierta grease to the Fluorotribo grease which amounted to "it's greasier grease'
When working with a dealer I sourced the Barrierta product direct from Kluber, wait for it, at $800 per 1kg tub! Cheaper than Ricoh but still whopping expensive.
Some specialty items are just gonna be expensive due to the small market for niche products.

I know this sounds silly, but I had some white creamy grease in an unmarked tin that was given to me years ago and I used it, however, there have been a few discussions on these forums regarding grease, and out of the zillions of suggestions, I noted a few. This one seemed decent enough to me and I got the office to order one so we could try it.Andy227 do you mind sharing the name and specs of the grease you use? We have tried lithium grease on th mpc305 range with limited success

"Dow Corning Molycote HP-300 synthetic fluorinted PFPE Hi-temp grease" If I compare with Ricoh Barrietta, it looks the same consistancy and colour, and the price is logical, and am sure it will work. All I know is that I had three mpc305's in the past week jamming in the fuser, and the sleeves were not turning in synch with the pressure roller and when a paper is fed in the sleeve by hand, it almost comes to a standstill. Opened up, completely dry on the bar, lubed, and the whole thing was as smooth as a silk, with no jamming whatsoever. I have concluded that dry sleeves are the major cause of fuser jams (at least on the 305's). The reliance of these fusers on good greasing seems underestimated. Also, the grease that comes with these 'non-original' sleeves is probably going to be some cheap rubbish. They've been getting cheap crap Chinese sleeves, and the grease provided is actually not grease but a little syringe of silicon oil....
