20 Best Oil For Skate Bearings (2022 Updated)

Upside: clean to use unlike other lubricants/greases Downside: needs to be slightly more viscous for bearing use. When the bearing heats up from use the lube tends to be p**sing out of the bearing caps.

All weather bike chain lubricant works better.

This is a very good product for lubrication of shafts passing through bushings and plain-sleeve bearings. It seems to be impregnated with PTFE or a similar substance. But I was expecting a type of a grease with a paste consistency.

I need to lube the ball-bearings of some drive-chain tensioner wheels ( made from re-shaped skateboard wheels) on dirt-bikes. I will inject the grease through a passage drilled into the 5/16″ (8mm) axle bolts for the modified skateboard wheels to do this.

Do you have a grease with the similar PTFE type of lubricants impregnated in it?.

I have always used this for years and then tried an oil called “Ionic Flux” It electro statically bonds to the bearings and is thinner, but seems to last as long as Speed Cream , whilst DEFINITELY allowing your bearings to spin faster.

It also polishes the insides of your bearings due to nano particles within the liquid. I thought that was sales waffle initially, but I have been very impressed. with it. Give it a try.

Run my old Datsun 240Z on some fun tracks with a long straightaway. At the end of those straights a lot of demand is placed on braking. Car has old solid disc’s, aggressive brake pads and fluid with a very high boiling point.

This transfers a lot of heat to the wheel bearings through the rotors and hubs. Happy to say the grease handles it all in stride with no melting or thinning. The mid range ratings do not reflect the product but how stupid the rating system is.

“Ease of installation” it is grease how stupid is that rating!.

I use this grease for the front wheel bearings on my first gen RX-7 track car. My RX-7 with 13 inch wheels has small front rotors and thus brake temps are very high while on track. This grease has never failed me even when I have cooked the pads.

This is the only grease I use for old-school hand-packed front wheel bearings.

It works very well for bearing, needle bearing and ball bearing. The grease is good because it has good wheel bearing and metal lubrication on the heat and it can last for a long time because it is a lithium molly ingredient.

This stuff is precisely what I needed to get an old USA500 back in tip top shape for fishing. Came fast, packaged well and works as advertised. No ragerts.

If you are a serious, or even a novice fisherman, keeping your reels well maintained is just common sense. Using the best lubrication should be also. Buy the best. Buy Ardent 0201 Reel Butter. A little goes a long way.

Now, go wet a line.

As a hobby, I give new life to quality vintage reels. The application of Ardent Reel Butter is one of the most important final steps. After years of trying every product on the market, this is the only oil I’ll ever use.

I like the consistency of this lube and the squeeze bottle it’s in. It had some nice adhering properties to it so it’s stayed in place so far. The only complaint I have for it is it’s a light green in color.

So when you apply it on a surface you can see it easily but once you start to smear it around the part to spread it out evenly it becomes hard to see. It would be better if it was a little darker in color.

Other than that, it’s great stuff.

This is probable the best lube for assembling a engine i have used. It sticks to the parts well and give a good film of protection to your new engine it also is a rust preventer if you have your engine sitting for awhile.

This grease is excellent for bearings, headsets, hubs and other moving parts that require low friction. I also purchased the PPL-1 as a general purpose grease, but the HPG-1 is a high end grease designed to be less sticky and viscous.

I would rate this stuff on par with that “Special Grease” from a famous wheel component manufacturer in Switzerland. I like the “Smurf Blue” color and it smells good too.

Finally had a chance to use the Park Tool HPG-1 grease and was very impressed with it. I?ve used other grease before but I can tell this grease was different from the others. This is a great addition if you are doing some bike maintanance yourself.

Ended up buying a Rock & Roll grease that fit my injector. I’m sure this Park tool grease is great, but that injector that injector is greater.

The description online and the picture given doesn’t say for bicycle use only. When I received the package the label clearly states for bicycle use only. I needed it to lubricate the bushing on the front suspension of my vehicle.

I don’t know much about grease, but I like that it is white instead of black. It seems to be working well in our elliptical- around the pedal arm bushing that we replaced. It’s only been a couple of weeks though.

It comes out of the tube easy, but there is no attachment to make it a thin bead so when we wanted to add some to the other bushing, it was hard to do without taking the pedal arm assembly apart. Wish it had a screw on attachment that would decrease the size of the application of grease.

high quality, heavy duty grease for bearings, dont use anything else on my bikes. keeps out dirt and moisture and as it ages it changes color so you can keep track of when you last serviced a bearing set.

slick honey is also good for light duty grease needs.

This was the first commercially marketed skateboard bearing formula lubricant to my knowledge. Since it’s inception, it remains the most talked about bearing treatment among skateboarders of all styles.

It’s an essential tool for the skater’s tool box.

I’m pretty big on maintaining my bearings. Doesn’t have to take that long and it helps keep the bearings rolling better for longer. I generally use two drops of oil for each bearing but if it’s for a rain board I’ll usually give it two more drops just to make sure the oil doesn’t get diluted as much and as fast.

Used both this ceramic oil and the Bones Speed Cream. Both work just fine.

My bearings in my longboard were the worst anyone can find. My bearings were making a loud rattling noise because of no lube so I decided to get Bronson lube cos it’s cheaper than bones and I have to say I don’t regret a single bit of it.

Bronson lube turned my bearings back into the old gold. The lube is kinda thick but not too thick so thicker means longer lasting but the downside is slightly slower speed but that’s very very slightly.

It makes the bearings role from a rattling noise to not a single sound. It’s AMAZING!.

The lube seemed to drip right out and attract dirt to the wheels. Needed to clean again and relube after just a few hours. I don’t have the Bronson bearings tho, so maybe it works as intended with those.

For generic or Reds, Bones Speed Cream seems to last longer.

Shame that the Bronson shieldess bearings are already seized up after less than 4 hours riding. They have been cleaned as well and that has made no improvement – which really sucks for bearings that cost this much, unfortunately these were £45 wasted.

I honestly don’t think this is any better than any other lube, though I don’t think it’s worse. It certainly has the “Equal-i-er tax” added to it, in that it’s far too expensive for what you get. It’s just lube being used on surfaces that see very little heat and movement.

The reason though to buy this is the packaging. I’ve been towing a lot of years and containers of axle grease are disgusting and messy and if you try to bring it on the road with you something will always fall on it and knock the lid off and cause a mess.

Axle lube is disgusting to deal with. This however comes in a nice sized container that is secure and can be thrown in a bag without any risk of the lid coming off and coating everything it comes in contact with.

Because of that I will likely purchase more when my existing tube runs out. It’s just a lot of money for very very little product.

Since we bought our camper last year, we’ve turned heads every time we’ve entered a campground. But for all the wrong reasons. Our Equal-i-zer hitch popped, creaked, and groaned every time we hit a bump or made a sharp turn.

As we drove through the campground to our site, everyone we passed stopped what they were doing to see what was causing all the noise. My initial research (both online and in talking to other campers) implied that the noise is normal, and is a by-product of the weight-distribution and sway control features of the Equal-i-zer hitch.

But all that noise sounded anything but normal, so I kept looking for a solution to this noisy problem. Finally I found mention of Equal-i-zer’s High Performance Lubricant and the Equal-i-zer Sway Bracket Jackets, and purchased both.

I installed the Bracket Jackets, and applied the lubricant to the ball, hitch head, and tops and bottoms of the sway tension bar sockets. When towing with the jackets installed and the lubricant applied, I noticed absolutely no reduction in sway control.

The only thing I noticed is that towing my camper is now a much, much quieter experience! This past weekend when we drove through the campground, no one even noticed we were there. While I expect that the lubricant alone would have reduced a lot of the hitch noise I was hearing, combining the lubricant with the Bracket Jackets nearly eliminates hitch noise.

The amount of noise reduction is truly amazing. I consider this a great product and a great purchase, and when it runs out I will without hesitation buy it again.

Bought this to use on my Equal-i-zer hitch (14,000 lb. model). Appears to be quality grease and reduced some of the noise I had hoped it would. The first tube I received was damaged but they replaced it right away.

If your using this for the Equal-i-zer hitch be sure to read the manual because your only supposed to apply it to certain designated areas of the hitch.

A beautiful product it’s nice and thick with out being too thick. I know sounds stupid but if you have used this type of grease before some can be incredibly wet runnier than you would imagine for a grease.

This product is perfect thought it’s so smooth I used it on my 410 knife as it is better than the grease that is supplied with it and it out performs tha grease hands down. The syringe is an absolute joy to use it will put out a tiny spot like a pin head size or just keep on squeezing.

I haven’t got any problems recommending this product to anyone that I personally know. it’s excellent.

I mix 2 syringes of this with a 3oz tube of superlube 92003 to improve the viscosity. I then put it in a little container. This stuff works great after mixing. I use this to grease the bearings on my bike, it holds well and reduces friction.

It now takes less effort to get my bike moving. If only this grease would cost less.

I bought the Finish Line Extreme Fluoro Grease to use to lubricate my Chris Reeve Sebenza’s. It works great! I would highly recommend it!

We build a lot of custom engines, and this is the assembly lubricant we have chosen. The engines we generally assemble are the Ford Modular engines. These newer design engines have extremely tight bearing clearances and demand not only a very watchful eye while building, but a tough lubricant that stays put until the engine is fired up.

Our bearing clearances are generally 4-5 times tighter then your typical V-8 engine, which presents several problems. The most important is initial lubrication and wear protection until oil pressure is established and maintained.

Many engine assembly lubricants, simply do not stay in place long enough to provide protection at start-up. I like to use this when we assemble the main & rod bearing, install the wrist pins, assemble the valve springs, retainers and rockers, plus a few other areas that need attention.

This product is not a paste, but it’s not a runny liquid. I use a small brush to apply it to the parts, and it stay there very well. The product itself is a synthetic lubricant that seems to give great wear protection and allows for engine assembly, rotation, and movement of parts while assembling the engine, without worry of scuffing the bearings or damaging the finely finished surfaces.

While this is not the only assembly lubricant we use, it is the one we use in the most demanding areas. It allows us to coat the surface and know that coating will remain there, until the engine is fired off and running.

Great product and will continue to use.

This was the first time using this product, very impressed with how it clung to the cam lobes even when turning the engine over with flat tappet lifters. Cam break-in went well, engine is on the road, I will use this again.

Not sure how long it will stay on cam, but the three days I worked with it, it stayed mostly where I put it. It’s not a hard grease, more of a semi liquid. so it flows into the tight spots grease would get to.

Cant comment on functionality since cables I installed were new. The size of the product is quite big for what you really need, which is good. I have used RockNRoll products before and quality is the best.

First time using any kind of cable lube and this stuff rocks. My shifting is locked in right now and extremely responsive. Its easy to apply and not much cleanup if you don’t over do it. PROS: Lightweight, Easy to Use BEST USES: Commuting, Mountain Bikes, Long Rides, Road Bikes.

This stuff simply does what it says it will. Get it, put it on all your cables, reapply every few months, enjoy the smooooooth shifting and braking. PROS: Easy to Use BEST USES: Road Bikes, Long Rides, Mountain Bikes, Commuting.

I have been using Royal Purple oil and grease for at least the last 20 years. It is all use. And as far as grease goes, this is it. I am a farmer as well as a homeowner and I use this grease exclusively for everything.

Anything that has a grease fitting gets this grease. And it if does not, it may still get this grease using a needle.

Just a synthetic grease not sure what noticable difference there is supposed to be but it functions as grease should

I knew already 40 years ago – I am a lubrication engineer (Tribologist) Use this in any bearing – and forget it! You cannot destroy with heat, speed or water

I purchased this to use to Clean and Maintain my Mom’s Singer Sewing Machine from the 50’s. Mom had taken Great care of her machine, but it had sat for years after her passing. I only wanted to use the Very Best Product for the job! Visibly the machine looked clean and all parts moved as they should, but After the application, I could see Just How Much of an Improvement there was! It was Truly like Night and Day! We also used this on a door we have that squeaks and groans.

Despite using other products that were All rated Great, the problem persisted Until Using Tri Flow! At last, No More Noisy Door! After using Tri Flow, I’m Sold! I won’t waste money on other products that only Claim to do what this Actually does! I imagine there are So Many Uses for this!! This would be a Great Gift Idea for Father’s Day, Birthdays, Etc! I think Every Household should have Tri Flow in your cabinet~Ready to Tackle Every Project!.

This stuff really works! Ive got an old 488 new holland haybine. One of the bearings on the rollers was squalling bad. A few shots of this stuff on the bearing it quoted right down. After several days of cutting hay with no additional applications, still quiet.

This stuff doesnt dry out like most other spray lubes. I even bought another can of it for my shop use. Will continue to use.

I’m use to using Reds which are phenomenal. Been using them for decades. Tried these Bronson out, and they are same if not better quality than the Reds. They come with spacers which is nice, I don’t seem to feel a difference in my opinion.

Also having coverage on both sides of the bearings is good for protection from dirt. They’re around the same price as Reds, so I highly recommend them just as much.

Absolutely terrible, I bought these about a year ago and the first time I cleaned them they couldn’t spin anymore without making a horrible gritty sound and they would spin 2 full rotations before stopping.

My reds road so much better but now I skate Bones Swiss Ceramics and they are worth the money, had them for months and I still haven’t cleaned them and they feel like there fresh out the box still.

These bearings are geat! smooth riding and so far a good time. Only seem to be slowing down because I got into some dusty times with my skateboard for a bit . Def recommend!

Workshop size tube of grease primarily for my winter/commuting bike which is ridden most days, along rural roads, most often full of mud, debris and puddles. It is quite a thick sticky grease that stays where it is put so pedal threads, hollow tech axles and headsets etc are lubricated and waterproofed with confidence.

I would recommend this grease.

Seems to work well. After each ride I hose the bike down (I’m riding an mtb through mostly mud and water at present), blow the bike and dry and then apply a drop to each chain roller. The chain seems to be lasting well, shifts OK, and it and the cogs don’t collect a lot of dirt when I’m out.

Best lube I have used, works really well and no gunk. Just remember to lube and take off excess before first ride. Works a treat!

Great product, as all stuff from Pedros typically are, for chain lube. I have also used their Dry Lube for use in dry and dusty conditions.
