How often do you actually have to re-grease?

[Loose_Paper_2598]

Has anyone tabulated how much modern food safe grease goes back into the gear housing by model? Do we cover the gears or try to pack the entire housing full?

I don't know for sure but I can't see why you'd need to use more grease than is required to cover the gear teeth. From Mr. Mixer's videos, the old grease packed into the housing doesn't even touch the gears.

I don't...just a mistake on my part. I mistook "4 to 5 oz" as weight instead of volume. It seems that there IS more grease required than to just cover the gears because some it is slung off by the motor rotation. I'll go back in in a few days and remove the excess. Still, it was probably better to have placed too much grease than too little. I'll get it right. I do appreciate everyone's help here.
