I have a similar question. I am in the process of re-lubing a
Create RC5A3. I was going to use a general purpose Lithium
grease (NLGI Grade 2) that I picked up at the local auto parts
store. It appears to have similar consistency to the grease that
was in the worm gear chamber, but I am not up on the subtleties
of grease, so I don't know if I am using the right stuff. The rotor
manual is fairly vague on this -  it states that an "optimum
quality grease" should be used. Any gear-heads with grease
expertise out there?

Thanks,

Mike W4EF................................
