I just found this post about grease and I was wondering the same thing if anyone mixed their own grease and oil together?

Has anyone out there seen the Youtube transaxle repair video called "How to repair a transaxle, sorry no mower mudding in this one.. . Following a minor repair, the mechanic cleans all the grease off the gears and the inside of the transaxle case. Instead of applying new grease, he uses a mixture of gear oil and Lucas Oil Stabilizer. The stabilizer causes the gear oil to adhere to all the moving parts. This lubrication scheme seems so much better than using grease.
After 16 years of service on my lawn mower transaxle, I want to open it up, inspect it. and if necessary, replace any worn parts. Prior to closing it up, I want to add a lubricant. Dana, the transaxle manufacturer, recommends a grease P/N FT-4000. I like the idea of using the gear oil mixture instead of the grease, Has anyone else out there tried using the gear oil mixture? If so, how did it turn out?"

probably not much help costwise, but search for Peerless/Tecumseh Bentonite grease.

That is much better than the MTD stuff at $20 for 32oz, I can live with that. Now to see if I can find some before Saturday, I really want to get this transmission back on the machine.

From what my research tells me, I think Peerless is the manufacturer of the transmission, made for MTD. Tecumseh and Peerless joined forces a long time ago and as of 3 years ago, Husqvarna bought Tecumseh-Peerless.

If I can't find Bentonite by Saturday, I think I'll clean out the differential and fill everything up with the Shell Gladus and hope for the best. I'm going to try calling my Sears Service Centers and see if they have it in stock.

Ah! Boy I wish I had found some around here. I already got the other stuff from Mcmaster Carr so I was hesitant to order this. I gave up trying to find it around here, where did you get that from and is it type 0?
