    Fuser grease

    Would appreciate if people could tell me what kind of grease they are using on fuser rebuilds. I am struggling to find any high quality fuser grease in Australia

    What are planning to lubricate? Drive components? Heat sleeves? Creaky bushings? It makes a difference.
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      What temperature range does it need to be usable over?

        It would need to be stable at the 180 degree celcius mark. i Have found the grease Ricoh use in their machines and its cost me $350 + for a 50 gram tube.
        Thank you for your reply

          Try super lube. It is a Syncolon (PTFE) based grease. Here in the states it is available at Home Depot and other hardware stores.Also available from Amazon. A little $10.00 US. for a 3 OZ tube

            Yep tried that on another machine and failed within 2 weeks. The heat dries out the carrier in the lubricant and you are left with a black paste with little lubricating properties. But thanks for trying

              Did you specify what you are lubricating? I don't see an answer. =^..^=
